Does being wealthy make someone more attractive? | Taboo money chats with Chantelle Otten

You're In Good Company

If you've ever felt stressed about money in a relationship or if it's a topic that has caused a fight or two, then you are definitely not alone. Finances are the leading cause of stress in a relationship, mostly because we all have different views on how we feel about making and spending money - so when there is misalignment, there is tension. To try minimise the stress that money plays, communication and understanding how your significant other views money is key. To tackle the topic, the lovely and very well equipped, Chantelle Otten, joins us to chat about splitting expenses, power dynamics and communication tactics that can really help us all (whether in a relationship or not!)

But the conversation doesn't end here... we want your thoughts!

1. How do you split finances with your partner? Is it percentage based or based on what you earn?
2. Does being wealthy make someone more attractive?
3. Have you ever dated someone who has earned significantly more or less than you? Was this ever an issue? Tell us your stories...
