Fighting about money with your partner — but it’s never really about money? This free worksheet helps you get underneath it before you bring it to them.

‍

The fight looks like it’s about a credit card or a savings goal. Underneath, it’s carrying something older and heavier: fear about the future, an unnamed power imbalance, two different childhoods with different lessons about money — and the quiet question of whether you’re really on the same team.

‍

This worksheet helps you get underneath the money fight before you bring it to your partner — understanding what the fight is really about, your own money wiring, and what you actually need to feel safe, so you can have the conversation that needs to happen.

‍

• Seeing what the money fight is really about underneath the numbers
• Understanding your own money wiring and your deepest financial fear
• Naming what you actually need from your partner to feel safe
• Preparing for a conversation that starts from vulnerability, not blame

‍

Money fights are rarely about money — they’re about safety, trust, and whether you’re really on the same team. Getting underneath the surface is a step toward a partnership where money can be talked about honestly.
