As you plan to merge your lives, consider how you'll handle your finances together. Where will you be depositing income going forward? In essence, where will the money go?

There’s no right or wrong regarding how you merge your money, per se, so long as you:

1. Create a setup that fits with your prenup if you get one. (More on this later in the full prenup prep course.)

2.  Communicate about your approach intentionally, so it feels right to both of you.

You can choose to maintain separate accounts, open joint accounts, or find a combination that works for you.
