When you argue about money with your spouse, do you need a therapist or financial planner? Researcher and author Shaunti Feldhahn and her husband Jeff spent three years on a national research project on love and money. They found that conflict about money usually isn't about money at all. In this conversation with Shaunti about her book, Thriving in Love & Money, you'll find out:

3:30 Why most couples can’t talk about money

5:30 What to do when you’re not on the same page about money

6:30 If you are having tension around money, it’s probably not about the money. It’s about how money makes you feel.

13:00 Talking through regrets over past purchases

18:20 What if I want to be the boss over how my income is used (let’s do what I want to do!)?
