Why is it so important to slow down at the beginning of dating or when you’re in a new relationship? When you move too fast, the relationship often crashes and burns or ends poorly. Some people rush the relationship because they’re so excited to have finally made a good connection.

It’s important to talk about money when you’re dating, but it’s a scary or taboo topic for most people.

Understanding each other’s financial values and goals early on can help build a strong foundation for the future. It can also reveal any big red flags around debt or poor spending habits. That’s...
