WE ALL HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT HOW THE ECONOMY WORKS FROM A SINGLE PERSPECTIVE.
We learned, observed, and experienced money not only as a transaction tool but as a recognition of status, a demonstration of success, an element of peace of mind, and, fundamentally, a means of wealth.
Normally, it is easy to agree on the way money is spent and cared for, but we differ on the ways money is generated and grown because to achieve the former we need to match our lifestyle aspirations but To achieve the second we require matching our processes, actions and times to create said lifestyle.
It is easy to take care of the money we have, but it is much more complicated to generate the money we would like to have. The energy required to manage capital is much less than that required to bring it into a home.
On the other hand, time is a fundamental factor in the financial field. An immediate reward provides pleasure and satisfaction that fuel our experiences as a couple, but it rarely provides us with the opportunity to accumulate wealth that provides us with security and the opportunity to build wealth.
So, the first step on the path to achieving financial peace of mind with your partner is clarity of intention, form, and deadline, in other words, what you want and what I want concerning our economic condition of life, when and how we are doing. to achieve that condition.
“Marta and Javier argue when it comes to money, their perspectives diverging like two separate paths. Marta sees money to enjoy, while Javier considers it an element that needs to be taken care of.
They are both clear on how to manage their current lives, but challenges arise when they try to address the surpluses. Marta wants to travel while Javier wants to save to buy an apartment.
Both seek the benefit of the couple but in very different terms and ways. When a short-term vision meets a long-term vision, they are sure to create sparks.”
Exploring solutions requires active engagement from both parties. Mutual understanding, negotiation, and finding compromises are essential to overcoming differences and forging a financial path that reflects shared goals. This involves not only finding a balance between opposing time visions but also working together to create a financial plan that integrates both perspectives harmoniously.
Relationship problems are broad and diverse, so do not allow money to generate an argument when it should strengthen the relationship.
