Money & Marriage: How to handle Money Matters Before and After 'I Do'?
When it comes to money, most of us are figuring it out as we go. Do you know what else we're figuring out as we go? Marriage. So what's it like when you're figuring both out at the same time? Today, I'm joined by Fikayo Usman of @fixitfinance to talk about all things Money, Marriage and Mortality. It got so good, I already know Fikayo will be back to keep the conversation going. Listen for an honest conversation about paying off debt, learning about personal finance, book recommendations to get good with money, figuring out how to manage giving money to family- #blacktax, and so much more. And don't forget to share + leave a review when you're done :)
