You might have been told never to talk about money while you’re on a date – but, why is that? With each partner, comes a different money story. Different money beliefs, myths and emotional reactions to finances. And yes, it could come with tensions of its own. Sometimes it does feel awkward when it comes to getting the bill, after all… In this episode, Dr. Tom chats to psychotherapist and financial coach, Emma Boardwell, about the impact that money has on couples, making it a powerful season finale. But the question still remains: should talking about cash be so taboo on a date?
