Understanding Where It Comes From

Knowing where your money shame comes from can help you address the problem from its roots, not just the surface level.

Getting Comfortable Talking About Money

Being able to talk about money is crucial to overcoming money shame. Start by getting comfortable talking to your partner about money. Make sure you're both on the same page and have an agreed set of goals.

Finally, managing your money properly is the best way to overcome money shame. There is no right or wrong way that works for everyone, though.
