Common problems in marriages about money:

• Coming from different money backgrounds (poor, middle class, wealthy)

• Hiding spending from the spouse

• Having only one spouse handling all of the finances

• Having different financial goals (i.e. saving money vs. paying off debt)

• Having no vision with regard to financial future
