But we don’t have the same conversation about our finances. 

Most of us just fall into sharing money and bills . 

We say yes because it&#39;s easier, because someone has to, because it seemed fine at the time – until life throws a curve ball and things aren’t set up the way we thought.

Before you say yes™ is the practical guide to sharing money safely with someone you love. Each episode gives you the practical tools to know what to look for, what to ask, and what to say – to each other, and to the companies you rely on every day.

Because the way you set things up matters more than you think.

Hosted by Catherine Fitzpatrick — former bank executive, consumer advocate, and the person who should have explained all of this years ago.</description><language>en</language><copyright>© Catherine Fitzpatrick 2026</copyright><lastBuildDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:53:45 -0000</lastBuildDate><pubDate>Thu, 02 Jul 2026 10:44:50 -0000</pubDate><docs>https://rss2.flightcast.com/w8j4qmj9jxfxyklc4f14dptj.xml</docs><generator>Flightcast RSS Feed Generator</generator><image><title>Before you say yes™</title><url>https://files.flightcast.com/workspaces/um6c6q2hh0t9ogmxbg7erbax/01KTYYWAA7KH85B75VKRTWDQG2/20260612_bysy_podcast_cover.jpg</url><link>https://catherinefitzpatrick.com/for-you/</link></image><atom:link rel="self" href="https://rss2.flightcast.com/w8j4qmj9jxfxyklc4f14dptj.xml" type="application/rss+xml"></atom:link><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="text-node">We talk about sexual consent - what it is, how to ask for it, how to give it, how to change your mind. </p><p class="text-node">But we don’t have the same conversation about our finances. </p><p class="text-node">Most of us just fall into sharing money and bills . </p><p class="text-node">We say yes because it's easier, because someone has to, because it seemed fine at the time – until life throws a curve ball and things aren’t set up the way we thought.</p><p class="text-node">Before you say yes™ is the practical guide to sharing money safely with someone you love.
