Splitting the Check: How Couples Manage Their Financial Wellbeing (Part 3)

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing And Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, expert hosts Shawn Lubitz and Grant Gallagher are joined by Affinity’s AVP of Consumer Lending, Nicole Stovall. 

In the third installment of their Splitting the Check series, the team begins their discussion with a rapid fire icebreaker to celebrate the 50th episode! 

Additional key discussion topics include: when should couples start planning financially for a child’s future and what they should prioritize, how couples can align on priorities, education planning, and more. 

Following the main discussion, the team shares their response to a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: I love finding a good deal, but I also know that sometimes it’s worth spending more for quality. How do you decide when to splurge on a high-quality item versus when to hunt for a bargain? Are there certain things that are always worth the investment?

Finally, Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s partnership with Greenlight, a debit card and app that teaches teens how to spend, save, and invest money wisely.
