The key questions to ask your partner about money
A podcast about such a sensitive topic: money. But I think it's worth it.
It emphasizes talking to your partner about their issues around money and finances. I think it can help guide a really useful conversation about money.
While the whole episode is good, these talking points really help you work on and develop your financial strengths.
46:33 What did your Mom / Dad teach you about money.
What is your most painful money experience?
What is your most joyful money experience?
What are your financial goals?
What are your financial fears?
What did you feel about your socioeconomic class growing up?
What am I most proud of in my relationship to money?
What do I appreciate about you, my partner, about money?
47:55 "There is often shame in our mental financial scripts...Shame is an emotional glue trap, and it keeps us stuck in our financial behaviors."
50:18 Challenging and changing your money scripts - they have an impact on your money for the rest of your life. (Having an internal locus of control - "the reason this happened is all because of me and I can change it" - is associated with having more money, than an external locus of control - "it's all because of XYZ that I lost that money, if only I'd never listened to them." )
38:56 researcher asked them to bring in something they had saved - a sentimental object. This gets people to connect to their core values... getting people to connect to items in a visceral way - how it came into their life, how it felt, what it meant to them, what it represents to them. Use that as a bridge to identify their values and top 3 financial goals - why they want to save for their future.

Costs of buying and running EV vs gas vehicle
"say you travel 15,000 miles annually in your F-150 and average 21 mpg...means you're burning about 714 gallons...multiply by $4.24/gal national average, which works out to an annual fuel bill of about $3,028... Lightning: 7,221 kWh. Multiply that figure by $0.14/kwh and the result is roughly $1,011 in electricity per year."
"you'd have to own the Lightning for about nine years for your "fuel" savings to make up the price difference"
"the annual price difference of running the Accord compared to the Kia, works out to a payback period of nearly 13 years."
