Money can often be a pressure point for couples with financial issues leading to stress and conflict. With couples feeling additional strain as the relentless high cost of living prices continues to squeeze incomes, Advice NI and Relate NI have come together to share their tips and advice.
"Money and relationships are closely intertwined, and our debt advisers see this every day. We recognise that the current climate has made relationships even more vulnerable, and we also know that more people than ever before are feeling the pressure, says Sinead Campbell, Head of Money, Debt & Quality at Advice NI.
"Even in a partnership, financial worry, stress, and debt can make a person feel alone, but talking can be crucial in tackling money issues. Individuals and couples can use our online Money Talks hub that hosts a wealth of free self-help resources such as a budget planner, which can help you to manage household spending, the Consumer Council’s energy comparison tool and the SafeFood Shopping tool, which provides helpful advice for eating well on a budget.
