My husband and I have a monthly money date, and it's the reason we haven't argued about finances in 10 years

The couple has had a monthly money date since they moved in together. Courtesy of Riana Ang-Canning When my husband and I moved in together, we started having monthly money dates. We talk about household finances, shared expenses, investments, and things we want to save up for. It's the reason we haven't argued about money in 10 years. On the last day of every month, my husband and I sit down for what we call a money meeting — a monthly money date where we discuss our household finances . We look at how much we each earned that month, our fixed and variable expenses, our savings and investment accounts, and discuss any financial decisions we need to make. I used to dread these money dates, but they're such a regular part of our lives, I don't mind them anymore.
