Can couples survive different spending habits? (Photo: iStock)
Money is one of the leading causes of tension in relationships, yet perfect financial compatibility between partners is rare. According to Patrick Wameyo, there is no such thing as perfect financial compatibility between partners.
“There are no two perfectly compatible people, but partners can agree on what needs to be achieved and work towards it,” he says.
He notes that the way one partner handles money will rarely mirror the other’s, due to differences in personality and family background. The most common scenario, he explains, is a saver paired with a spender. The saver is usually organised and careful with finances, while the other may struggle to manage money effectively.
