“Money and Relationships”
June, 2005

When it comes to money, few things are more perplexing than relationships. How do two people from different economic backgrounds forge a harmonious relationship? Can you loan money to friends without creating a rift in the friendship? How can a local business change the way people in a community relate to one another? How does paying family members for chores affect the family unit? This issue profiles people addressing challenges that arise around money and relationships and features an interview with David Bach, author of Smart Couples Finish Rich, discussing the importance of values when dealing with money issues in relationships.
