Twelve questions that will tell you more about the financial future of your relationship than five years of dating ever will. The cheapest version of these conversations available — because the alternative is having them later, with more on the line.
A 32-page beautifully designed PDF, written by Hazel McBride — ready to read on your phone or print for the conversation itself.
The complete question set, with a dedicated page for each — including what the question actually reveals, what to listen for, and the deflections most people use to dodge it.
The setup that makes these questions land instead of becoming a fight. Timing, setting, tone, the "I'll go first" rule — and the hidden thirteenth question underneath all twelve.
After all twelve questions, you'll have a lot of answers. The simple Green / Yellow / Red / Keep Talking framework that helps you understand what those answers actually mean.
If you're somewhere between three months and five years into a relationship that's starting to feel real — or if you're already engaged, married, or living together and you've been quietly wondering whether you actually know who you're with financially — this is for you.
It's not a quiz. It's not a personality test. It's not a worksheet.
It's the question set most couples never bring to their relationship until something forces them to. And by then, the cheap version of the conversation isn't available anymore.
I write about the part of love most people don't want to look at: the math.
Not because I think money is more important than love — but because I've watched too many beautiful, hopeful relationships quietly come apart over financial incompatibilities that could have been seen, named, and addressed years earlier.
These twelve questions are the cheapest version of the conversation I know how to write. Every couple deserves to ask them. Most couples never do.
If you read the PDF and find yourself thinking I have more to figure out than I realized — that's exactly what these questions are designed to surface. And it's exactly what the rest of the framework at Cost of I Do is here to help you do something about.
Take the questions. Use them well.
