Understanding Backgrounds Shapes Financial Mindsets: Recognizing and respecting each other's backgrounds and experiences is crucial in building successful financial partnerships.
Our backgrounds, including cultural upbringing and personal experiences, significantly shape our money mindsets and relationships with finances, especially within the context of marriage. The speaker, an Indonesian older millennial communication strategist, shared her experiences of growing up in a middle-class family in Jakarta, where she saw the correlation between increased income and improved comfort. However, she also observed her parents' investment habits and recognized the importance of saving and building wealth. These early experiences influenced her mindset, which was further shaped by her partnership with her English husband, who is a generation and culture apart. Despite their differences, they have built a successful and equal partnership, experiencing both wealth and poverty together. By sharing her story, the speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting each other's backgrounds and experiences when navigating financial decisions and partnerships.
Growing up with the value of hard work and financial independence: The speaker grew up in a family where women worked and valued financial independence, shaping her mindset to prioritize earning her own money and breaking free from cultural expectations.
Earning one's own money and financial independence were deeply valued and prioritized by the speaker from a young age. Growing up in a family where all the women worked, she saw the connection between hard work and financial rewards. This experience shaped her mindset, leading her to believe that women should work and continue earning even after marriage or becoming a mother. Additionally, she wanted the power and freedom that came with earning her own money, as she had experienced the cultural expectation of obedience in her childhood. The speaker began hustling for money during her university years, working as a sales rep and joining campus organizations to expand her network and secure a job after graduation. This determination and resilience paid off, allowing her to break free from cultural norms and forge her own path towards independence.
From Hustling to Love and Business Success: Transparent communication and adaptability are crucial for personal and business success. Use technology to simplify transactions, expand reach, and enhance customer experience.
Building a successful business and personal life involves hard work, dedication, and the ability to adapt to new opportunities. Rebecca, a business influencer, shares her journey from hustling to become an account director and meeting her husband in a professional setting. She emphasizes the importance of respectful communication, especially when discussing sensitive topics like money. When they met, they recognized each other's achievements and approached their relationship with transparency and honesty. They acknowledged the financial challenges of their long-distance relationship and discussed their financial goals and expectations upfront. This open communication set the foundation for their successful partnership. In business, Rebecca encourages the use of technology like tap to pay on iPhone and Stripe to simplify transactions, increase revenue, expand reach, and enhance customer experience. By embracing new tools and staying adaptable, businesses can thrive and grow.
Open communication about finances in relationships: Being open about finances in relationships is crucial for building trust and understanding. Voice concerns and lay your cards on the table to identify potential red flags early on.
Open communication about important matters, including finances, is crucial in a relationship. The speaker shares her experience of being straightforward about her financial concerns in a potential relationship, even at the risk of appearing intense or overthinking. She emphasizes the importance of voicing concerns and not keeping them to oneself, as this can help identify potential red flags early on. The speaker and her husband, who met at a mature age, prioritized open communication about financial matters, prenuptial agreements, and future plans from the beginning of their relationship. They recognized the importance of being transparent and laying their cards on the table, as time is precious and money is hard-earned. Open communication can help build trust and understanding in a relationship, and can ultimately lead to a stronger and more successful partnership.
Open and honest finances conversations and prenups: Discussing finances openly and creating a prenup can build a strong foundation in a relationship, focusing on what's important, and finding a system of sharing equity and equality.

The speaker shared her experience of discussing financial matters in their prenuptial agreement, which led them to become more responsible citizens. She also revealed her biggest financial regret, which was spending a large amount on their extravagant wedding. Instead, she encourages focusing on what is important and valuable to each individual in their financial decisions. Lastly, she advises that every couple should find a system of sharing equity and equality in their relationship that provides them both with freedom, power, security, and appreciation. Ultimately, what works best is subjective and unique to each couple.
