You may say it should never be about money when it comes to relationships, and you're probably right. However, in reality and life in general money plays a part in it all.
Money is always a hard topic to get into for a lot of people. Weather it's pride that holds you back, or the fear of being looked upon like a user, money is the one topic that can either help you or hurt you.
Experts claim it's usually a crisis that gets a couple to enter the money talk (overdrawn accounts, credit cards over the limit, etc.) - And they're correct in adding that by this time it's too late, because now instead of a discussion you get what? An explosion? Nuclear war?
So when is the right time to start talking money and exchanging funds with your significant other?
Is it before sex? During sex? After Sex? When?
