The Marriage Money Masterplan: Free Virtual Workshop to Promote Financial Harmony Among Michigan Couples, Sept. 13
Gesher Human Services, one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit which also provides financial education, will be offering a free webinar called The Marriage Money Masterplan at 1 p.m. on Friday Sept. 13. Approximately one in four marriages end because of conflict due to finances, according to the Jimenez Law Firm. The 2024 Fidelity Couples and Money Study found that more than a quarter of partners felt resentful for being left out of financial decisions and more than half can’t agree on how much money they need to save for retirement. This workshop will help married couples, along with those who are engaged or in a long-term relationship, learn the importance of managing money, budgeting, saving, and investing together. It will also cover topics such as adopting similar parenting money styles when making financial decisions for children, open communication, financial goals, income and expenses and financial infidelity.
