| Newly weds are discussing their finances. Both James and Emma have jobs
and, up until now separate bank accounts. Emma earns more money than James.
Emma likes to spend money on clothes, beauty products and items for they're
new home. James enjoys spending money to, but spends less on clothes and
more on his hobby, sailing, for which he has to buy equipment. Emma thinks
it's sensible to have a joint bank account, James doesn't want this. Emma
thinks James is hiding something and says marriage is about trust; they
should be open with each other about financial matters.
What advice would you give to James and Emma? |

on holiday with her friends. She is going to marry David in a month's
time.
