Viviana Vazquez and her fiancé, Xavi, earned over $300,000 annually through their jobs and content creation. Initially hesitant to discuss finances due to different backgrounds, they engaged in meaningful conversations as their relationship deepened. They moved from a 50/50 expense split to a collective financial approach, combining most finances while keeping 10% separate. They conduct weekly ‘money dates’ to stay aligned on budgeting goals, establishing a financial system that fosters both shared responsibilities and individual freedom, setting a solid foundation ahead of their upcoming marriage.
When our relationship got serious, though, I knew we had to have the conversations our parents never had and figure out how we, as a team, wanted to manage our money.
We wanted to give ourselves time to try out this new method and set up the structure we plan to use long-term. Our foundation is already solid; we did the hard part before marriage, which we're really grateful for.
