This is SO important. So many people ignore this aspect of their relationship, because "they're im love, and money doesn't matter." If you aren't ready to have a serious talk about money, you aren''t ready to get married.
Finances do matter. If you both view finances totally differently, it will most likely cause some problems in your relationship. For example, if your financial goals include saving for a home and for retirement, but your fiance gets payday loans every week and pays his bills whenever he feels like it, that's going to cause alot of conflict in your marriage.
