BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, The Money Clinic revisited

Ruth Alexander revisits two households who took part in The Money Clinic last summer.

Money is one of the top three strains on relationships and it’s a common cause of rift between family and friends.

You might be cautious and risk averse and hate to see your partner frittering their money away on new clothes and nights out; while they might think you should stop being so miserly with your cash and splash out once in a while.

Earlier this year Ruth Alexander introduced ‘The Money Clinic’. In this special Money Box series we eavesdropped on the conversations of three couples and a mother and son talking honestly about their finances with a relationship counsellor. We learnt about their relationship with each other and how money impacted on their relationships, as well as hearing how they managed the emotional side of money. We learnt that individual attitudes to money are formed in early life, and how arguments about it are often about much more than just money. 

In this programme we catch up with two households and hear what impact the Money Clinic had on their relationship with money.
