Couples And Money

If you’re a spender and your spouse is a saver, your marriage could be

in trouble. A new study finds that differences between partners in how

much they take risks with money predicts if they will divorce. For

example, when one partner likes to take risks with money, but the

other does not, it can lead to marital friction and increase the risk

of separation. Couples who both have similar preferences for risk

related to money, though, have a greater chance of staying together.
