137: We're Married Now, Should We Combine Finances?

This episode is the next in the podcast series, #AskPattiBrennan - a series of episodes in which Patti answers one of her listener's frequently asked questions.  These podcasts are shorter in length and address one FAQ or RAQ (a rarely asked but should be asked) question.  One of the most frequent questions we hear is should we combine our accounts now that we are married?  This question does not just apply to young couples, it also applies to second and third marriages – which can also complicate issues, particularly when young children are involved. There is not a set answer to this question because there are many considerations involved.  Patti sets out the pros and cons of each as she tackles this complicated topic.
