Whether you're newlyweds or have been a duo for decades, having an honest conversation about finances is a must. To set you on the right track, here are a few boxes you’ll want tick in terms of important conversations about planning a successful financial future.

Hot topics you’ll want to tick off  

When it comes to building a financial life together, must-have chats include:

• How you’re going to handle your bank accounts – jointly, separately or a bit of both?
• How to create a realistic budget.
• How are you going to get a handle on any debt?
• What’s the best way to save for short-term as well as long term goals

Something else to consider is what would happen if one of you had to pass away and this is where life insurance and creating a Willl can give you peace of mind.

Life insurance for couples

If you and your partner don’t already have life insurance, you could each get your own life insurance policies and list each other as beneficiaries. This way, if one of you had to pass away or fall terminally ill, the other would have a financial safety net. Alternatively, you can add your partner as a life insured to your existing policy.

At MiWayLife, it works like this – for one low monthly premium, you’ll receive a 4-in-1 policy that includes comprehensive life insurance that, in the event of your passing, pays out a lump sum of your choosing to your nominated beneficiaries including your partner or spouse – or anyone else you’d like to financially protect. (Yep, you can have more than one beneficiary – a great thing if you plan on having kids!) 

Your policy will also include an accelerated funeral benefit, terminal illness benefit and funeral cover for your wider family members. Just remember that for every additional life you insure on your policy, your premium will increase, but this isn’t as expensive as you’d think. if you have life cover with MiWayLife, you could get R500 000 life cover from as little as R149 a month!
