Couples and money

When it comes to financial decisions, our research reveals that there are four kinds of couples. What kind of couple are you? And what kind is best? Here’s what we learned:

• The most common kind of couple is man-led—he makes investment decisions, she handles the day-to-day expenses
• Couples who truly share financial decisions feel the most confident about their future—but only 1 in 4 couples fall in this category
• Couples who make separate decisions on money argue the most about money
