Is talking about money before your wedding unromantic, or is it the ultimate act of love?

From 'death files' to treating a marriage like an M&A merger, we’re peeling back the layers on how to build a financially stable future without the awkwardness.

Dive into the uncomfortable but necessary conversations couples should have before and during marriage, and why avoiding them can lead to bigger problems later.

Joining us are:

Vasu Menon, Managing Director, Investment Strategy, OCBC Bank - a wealth management veteran who brought his expertise home to his own marriage
Wong Kai Yun, Senior Partner, Dentons Rodyk - a family lawyer specialising in structuring instead of just disputes
Chen Shao Chun, Founder, 9 to 5 Millionaire Mindset - a personal finance advocate focused on helping working professionals build wealth through investing, financial literacy, and long-term financial planning

What you’ll hear in this episode

The money talk couples avoid
Marriage as a financial partnership, from shared goals to aligning risk appetite and spending habits.
Budgets, spreadsheets & reality checks
What to do when things go wrong - disputes, power of attorney
From insurance and investments to wills, LPAs, and protecting your family.

Whether you're single, engaged, or married, this episode might change how you think about love and money.

🎧 Tune in to hear the stories, the lessons, and the conversations most couples never have, until it’s too late.
