Publisher's summary

Thomas Jefferson said, “Knowledge is power.” You’ve probably heard that quote before, but have you taken its principles to all areas of your life?

Veronica Karas, a certified financial planner, takes her wealth (yes, pun intended) of knowledge and experience in the financial industry and brings it to all seasons of your life. Following her first book in the Money Matters series, Money Matters: Everything You Should Have Learned in School, but Didn't, she systematically takes you in her second book, Money Matters: Merging Lives, Merging Finances - Get It Right So You Don’t Fight, through the season of joining your life and finances with a partner.

She masterfully lays out, step-by-step, the progressive nature of merging your partnership financially, in all its logical and emotional aspects, while blending your lives with your love. As you take that “next step” in the season of your romantic relationship, this must-listen book walks couples through the seemingly continuous minefields in discussion of blending finances, while discovering that gaining knowledge does matter, because Money Matters.

Very helpful!

About to merge lives with someone who is very particular about his finances, I have been looking for tools to help me navigate this next stage of our lives, so this book couldn’t have come at a better time. And it didn’t disappoint! Besides giving lots of useful information on things that us regular folks usually have very vague idea about, and actually making sense out of them (various financial options, their applications, costs, things to consider, etc.), besides all of that Veronica also gives plenty of practical advice about how to start the conversations, what questions to ask your partner (and yourself for that matter), how to set healthy expectations, and healthy boundaries when necessary to ensure smooth sailing into major stages of a relationship (dating, moving in together, marriage, having a baby, etc.). I got a lot of helpful advice which I certainly will be applying, and I can tell you I feel much more confident now about the subject overall. I very much recommend this book.

Thinking about finances and romances this is it!

When you finally meet someone you are ready to move in with or start a life together it is best to follow in the footsteps of happy couples, look at real-life stories and cases and come prepared. Veronica is like a big sister you wish you had that knows everything about money and finances so you don't have to.

A must read

To be honest, I’m not by any means a financial expert and all in all I have pretty limited understanding and knowledge of anything beyond checking acct; savings acct and 401k. Nonetheless, this book really resonated with me. The language was simple and easy to follow. I picked up some valuable insight on various types of investments and I feel better prepared about the prospect of moving in with my significant other. The prompts, scenarios and conversation starters are awesome for facilitating open discussion. Would highly recommend for everyone.
