The best questions
Recapping our top five reader questions on The Joint Account.
Greetings from South Beach! Right now, Heather and I are soaking up the energy at Future Proof Citywide, a conference buzzing with big ideas and even bigger questions. We’re here spreading the word about our upcoming book, Money Together, and championing healthier financial conversations between partners one breakout session at a time.
With iced coffee in hand and our notebooks filling up fast, we’re meeting folks from all corners of the financial services industry. It’s got me thinking: what better way to kick off this week’s newsletter than by revisiting the top five Q&A gems from our past editions? After all, the best answers often start with the trickiest questions. So let’s dive into the TJA vault and see what can spark a conversation between you and your partner!
