266. Blended Family Finances: Money Conversations, Fairness, and a Unified Vision
On this episode of CFO at Home, Vince talks with best-selling author and CFP professional Brian Peterson about navigating money in a blended family, where one or both partners bring children from previous relationships into a new family. Brian explains how blended families “come together mid-story,” bringing with them their own financial histories, expectations around kids and money, and sometimes the influence of ex-spouses. Drawing from his book Blended Family Finances, they discuss why couples should understand their money beliefs, values, and shared vision before jumping into budgets and financial plans, and one of the toughest questions blended families face: how to define fairness when fairness doesn’t always mean equality.
