  • Learn the signs of financial abuse relationships
    Dec 11 2024

    The CDC says domestic violence is the number 1 public health issue in America. Research confirms 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men are victims of abuse in their relationships. Kim Scouller, author of How Money Works for Women, says one of the first things an abusive partner does is take control of the finances so their spouse feels like they can't leave. Start by stashing away cash -- even very small amounts will help.

    Kim says communication is key and both partners need to step up and take responsibility for the finances in the relationship. It can be equally dividing up who pays which bills or have a joint account where only a part of each person's income goes into the same account and pay everything from there.
