So the big day is said and done. The dust has settled and you’ve officially taken the step in your life that involves another person- marriage! As newlyweds, your future is now shared. So how can you make sure it looks bright and prosperous? Many wait until it’s too late to discuss money: who has it, who doesn’t and who might need a little help in getting on the right track. Our credit counseling advice is to avoid this. If you haven’t had this conversation yet, it’s important to get on the same page so that you both may have a successful financial future together.
Here’s ACCC’s financial checklist for newlyweds.
