One of You Saves, the Other Spends — Now What? A Financial Pro on Managing Money as a Couple
Question #10 of GOBankingRates' Top 100 Money Experts Series What's the best way to manage money with a partner? You're sitting at the breakfast table with your partner. Gazing into their eyes, you think about how much you love them, how much they — to quote 'Jerry Maguire' — 'complete you,' and how fortunate you are to have them. For You: Learn More: Just as you're about to fall even deeper in love, they open their mouth to tell you they might have, ahem, put a little more on the credit card than they planned. Or perhaps to chide you for not taking your employer match on your 401(k). Ah, love. Ain't it grand? It still can be — even if your money habits clash — when you learn how to balance different financial styles. That process might sound complex and uncomfortable, but according to Emma Johnson, founder of Wealthy Single Mommy and author of 'The 50/50 Solution' and 'The Kickass Single Mom,' it starts with something simple: listening to each other. GOBankingRates caught up with Johnson to get her take on how happy couples can stay happy couples when it comes to managing money together. Respect Each Other's Financial Independence One of Johnson's first pieces of advice is to recognize that you and your partner are, well, your own people. You each had fully formed identities and managed your own money before you got together. Acting like a parent or boss with your partner's finances can only breed resentment. 'Each partner needs some financial autonomy – money you can spend without checking in first,' Johnson said. 'You're both adults.' Therapists back this up. Given how often couples argue over money, it's not surprising that services like Ascencion Counseling include financial advice right on their websites. To keep your financial independence while managing joint responsibilities, you and your partner need to communicate and plan together. One common approach is to open a joint account for major shared expenses like rent, utilities and groceries, while keeping separate accounts for personal spending. Once you agree on how much each of you will contribute — ideally based on income rather than splitting everything 50/50 — you can still maintain individual control over your own separate accounts. This kind of setup gives each partner more confidence in their financial abilities while also minimizing potential resentment. That's a win-win. Read Next: Love Each Other Through Your Differences Opposites might attract in your favorite rom-com, but in real life, they can cause friction — and not the fun kind. Johnson acknowledges that differing money habits are tough to navigate. But she wants you both to sit down and ask yourself some hard questions. Do we see our money as shared? How do we feel about keeping separate accounts and spending without checking in? Should joint expenses be split equally or based on income? 'There are no right or wrong answers here, and your feelings may change over time. But it's important to come to some agreement together,' she said. 'Remember, these dynamics can change over time, so think about how you'd feel if the situation flipped, because life is long and it very likely could!' Timing is everything. Have these conversations when you're both in a calm and relaxed mood — not when you're mid-argument or stressed. You might even plan a special date night where you sit at home over a lovely meal and talk openly about your financial experiences. Share what makes you feel triggered or ashamed. Talk about areas where you feel secure and empowered. This kind of open honesty helps build empathy and prevents unintentional hurt. Come Together as a Financial Team You already act as a team in other parts of life, from house training your new puppy to navigating holiday dinners with extended family. Why not do the same with money? Johnson sees financial conversations as a lifelong dialogue, not a one-and-done talk. 'Ask yourselves: What is a short-term goal — in the next year — that we share? What long-term goal – five years, 10 years, retirement – do we share? Remember, the conversation is ongoing,' she said. 'It will evolve, change and have surprises and upsets. Keep talking and make future planning a fun, positive part of your partnership.' Bottom Line Just because you and your partner approach money differently doesn't mean your relationship is doomed. Far from it. With some honesty, vulnerability and a willingness to keep the conversation going, you can manage your finances as true partners — and even grow stronger in the process.

Kieran Shoemark is reunited with Juddmonte which rubbishes the specuation he was sacked after Field Of Gold defeat
THE truth. There it was, staring me in the face. Many of you will have seen one of my favourite movies, Jerry Maguire. There's a moment in the film when Jerry sees the light and creates his own 'mission statement'. It was like he had been hit by a thunderbolt. 1 On Thursday morning I experienced exactly that feeling, a moment of OMG, when jockey bookings were revealed for today's racing. It was a thing of beauty. Like two long-lost lovers reuniting. Kieran Shoemark riding OKEECHOBEE (3.00) for owners Juddmonte in the Group 3 Betfred Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock. Even more significantly, in the very same race, Rossa Ryan has been jocked up on another Juddmonte horse, Detain, for John and Thady Gosden. Yes people, that's the Detain that only Shoemark has won a race on this season. Indeed, that's the Detain that has only ever been victorious with Shoemark on top. Some, of course, tried to make out Juddmonte got rid of Shoemark after the now infamous defeat of Field Of Gold in the 2,000 Guineas. The same Field Of Gold that didn't quicken down the dip at Newmarket like he subsequently did on a conventional track. The Rose Of Lancaster jockey bookings puts the Shoemark ditching theory to bed once and for all. Shoemark has a 33 per cent wins to rides strike-rate for Juddmonte in 2025 and a 35 per cent strike-rate in 2024, when he banged in nine victories from 26 rides. That's decent by anyone's standards. In a short space of time his big hits for the organisation included Field Of Gold (Craven and Solario), Zanzoun (Nell Gwyn), Lead Artist (Darley and Thoroughbred Stakes) and Tilsit (Summer Mile). I can't tell you how much I hope Okeechobee runs a huge one this afternoon live on ITV. Harry Charlton's six-year-old has been very hard to train and has only raced eight times. But at his peak rating of 113 he would have an each-way chance. He looked very good when landing the 2024 Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown, seeing off a talented pair in Desert Hero and Israr. This season the son of Time Test has not been at his best, getting stuffed at both Kempton and Newbury when behind the re-opposing Royal Dubai. But Okeechobee is not devoid of talent and it's not impossible he can put his difficulties behind him. It's a belter of a race, though, as it also includes Haatem and Military Order. The former scored at Royal Ascot and was once third behind Notable Speech in the 2,000 Guineas and the latter was previously sent off at just 9-2 for the 2023 Derby! It's not just Shoemark who has the chance to make headlines on ITV. Billy Loughnane has been a breath of fresh since he banged in his first winner as a jockey aboard Swiss Rowe at Wolverhampton in November 2022. Now don't get me wrong here, Loughnane is not just some smiley, happy boy. He's changed a lot in the last three years, and now has a real air of confidence and cheek. So it's no real surprise that Godolphin's Charlie Appleby seems to be a fan. I could imagine Appleby and Loughnane being a perfect combination in the future. Right now, William Buick remains Appleby's star rider, and the situation won't change in the near future. But Loughnane is getting chances to show what he can do, and that includes when taking the ride on unbeaten DANCE TO THE MUSIC (3.40) in the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes at Newmarket. The daughter of Dubawi and sister to Group 1 sprinter Space Blues looked good under Loughnane on debut, but that was a long time ago when she was suggested as a fancy for the Albany at Royal Ascot. Now she needs to show she's really promising. More importantly in some ways, Loughnane has arguably the biggest ride of his career so far tomorrow aboard Godolphin star Rebel's Romance in the Group 1 Hoppegarten Westminster 135th Grosser Preis von Berlin. The dual Breeders' Cup hero and winner of over £10million in prize money was last seen finishing third in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot. On paper he should take all the beating and provide Loughnane with his first Group 1 success. This is huge, massive. Of course, there is lots to look forward to in the coming weeks with York's Ebor Festival not far away. I'll be cheering for, Okeechobee. As Jerry would say, 'Show Shoe the money'. Yeeehaaa!
