This was an excellent talk. I loved where she mentions the idea that prenups are not just for the rich. It's just a smart thing to do especially if you have premarital assets and/or debt. Also, I appreciated her vulnerability in sharing her personal misstep.
I think you covered everything most ppl can relate to. U touched on several things I've dealt with & are dealing with. You gave clear solutions. & u spoke very well. U look very confident & like u know exactly what your talking about. I hope this goes for 3 million views!!
I find this TedTalk by Leah Collins to be very insightful for anyone in any type of relationship. The strategy and approach discussed in the Tedtalk provides an easy opportunity to minimize relationships from failing, at least financially. Job well done Leah.
It's true that a lot of people think the money discussion is taboo. It's actually the complete opposite and just as important as anything else. Great Tedx topic!
This has really made me reconsider how I have conversations during the dating phase , going forward. I feel like everyone needs to listen to this, both single and married!!!!
What an amazing talk Leah!! By experience, I’ve learned this lesson the hard way. Your character speaks volumes & your ability to walk away says even more. You are an inspiration in more ways than one & I’m thankful to call you my friend! Thank you for speaking up about the significance of financial compatibility. Ladies, please listen & run away as fast as you can from situations like this & DO NOT ignore the red flags!! 🚩
This was amazing. Thanks for sharing. It's these needed conversations that gives context to the Conversation so many of us really need to be having opposed to the infamous and unwanted opinions on "50/50". There's so much more to financial compatibility than just that. Would love to see more of this!
Excellent advice! It takes strength and courage to make tough life decisions. Especially, when it involves a long-term friendship that resulted in a marriage proposal.
Wow, I was really impressed by this presentation. Leah’s message on financial incompatibility really hit home. I repeat do not ignore the red flags. A great lesson for single, married, or divorced individuals. Keep up the great work. 👏🏾
Excellent Speech. Leah is brilliant! Very enlightening and on-point. We agreed close to the start of the relationship with a common mission of eliminating debt. It is wise to have a common mission/goal toward money as well as other life changing factors. Great Job Leah!
This is a good conversation to have. Many couples wait to have the discussion or don't have it at all. Financial compatibility is just as important as others factors. Love this because no one takes about this
As hard as it may be, do not ignore nor excuse red flags. Leah gave great insight on pre/post-nutual agreements. Running to go talk to my Fiancé now! 😅
Excellent speaker. Detailed, personal understandable, informative and relatable.. An actually underrated topic if planning/considering marriage or even a long term relationship without delaying your personal, spouses or joint finanacial growth.. Need more of this
Her advice is valid for women and men as well. Marrying a stay at home wife will lead to a different life and challenges than a working one. A wife's readiness to contribute to the expenses of the family even if she earns well should be cleared from the beginning and ofc different men will have different expectations. Neither of the partners should assume some logical or natural stance of the other. Everything should be discussed.
Red flags are tough to deal with sometimes… but knowing you’re going down the wrong path with someone is even tougher. Thank you for this, Leah! And not liking cats/dogs is absolutely a red flag!! 🚩 (special shout out to Butters 🥰)
What a fantastic presentation! Sharing your situation takes courage and makes you more relatable to your audience. Thank you for an excellent presentation.
Leah Marie Collins delivered a crucial TEDx talk on financial harmony in relationships, a topic often overlooked yet so pivotal. Her personal journey and insightful tips resonated deeply, showing us that discussing money can strengthen bonds and heal past wounds. A must-watch for anyone navigating or redefining their financial relationship dynamics!
Probably one of the best TEDTalks I’ve seen in a long time! Leah, your delivery was amazing and story so relatable. Thank you for bringing financial compatibility to the forefront!! This is something I wish I had when I married my ex husband. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
Very eye opening! I’m glad financial compatibility is something I’ve always considered but I will definitely be forwarding this on to a few people! Great job 👏🏽
Great advice! Everyone can benefit by having these conversations up front. Otherwise you can spend a life time trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
Such a great presentation! Funny, polished and relatable - she’s right, money DOES touch so many aspects of our lives. Much to be learned from this info!
Great advice for men and women. Having this discussion is an important component in laying a strong foundation for a successful and enduring relationship.
She said she knew they guy 15 years not that they were dating 15 years. I can tell some did not listen & that is also important in a marriage. Good info though! Definitely air out the finance topic before getting married.
This was a great TEDx! Straight to the point with some valuable takeaways. Sharing your personal experience to help other navigate a potentially tough situation in the future is commendable of you!
The Torahteaches that you can only tell who a person really is by looking at three paradigms: Koso, Kiso, Kaaso. How does a person act when he has alcohol in him? How does he relate to money? What is he like when he is angry? In these three situations, the real situation reveals itself.
I once went to a Libertarian's comedy show. The host asked the audience what's the most expensive thing you've ever bought; he wanted to tell them it was their government through taxation. Someone shouted out before he got to his punchline: 'my marriage'.
Relationships/ marriages are HARD WORK! With that said, financial compatibility is a crucial foundational component for lifelong success. Leah's talk has provided simple, straightforward tips / guidelines to help any person maneuver through this stage of dating, which could lead to a lifelong commitment. Note that each individual's journey is different, established by one's personal boundaries, preferences, and aspirations. After doing this work and setting these parameters, the key is not to miss, excuse, or ignore the red flags, which will jeopardize the sustainability of the commitment.
I really like TedTalk for its amazing presenters, content and education. Wow, Leah Marie Collins TedTalk is "Outstanding"! Every girl to woman along with folks in relationships really need to watch this. Eyes Wide Open!

Some very good points. And good for her to recognize deal breakers (red flags) early enough to do something about them. Red flags are different for everyone, but yeah, a red flag for me is also if he isn't into cats or pets of any kind.
Interesting points to relate money and love, I'll send this to my husband to check it too. We also started a RUclips channel (psychology) but are planning to talk about love too.
0:12 "Like millions brides around the world, i canceled my wedding." 😂😂 I did not know women canceled weddings like that? I always thought it was men who refused to get married when they came to their senses.
The pandemic caused a lot disruptions to wedding plans, graduation plans, family events, etc she was specifically referring to brides being impacted by COVID shut downs
Once you find that compatibility, marry, and have children? Make sure your children understand that $$ compatibility and that it pertains to them, to lookout for those red flags too!
Wtf in 15 years she doesn't know about, partner's financial status or crisis. Even if a partner hides or lies about money but think again in 15 years she is not able to observe the situation. Well all the she is talking about divorce and money which can lead thoughts to any happy couple about unnecessary negative imagination of upcoming situations which may never come in future. Why don't people talk to support each other and love and stay strong any situations fight together in life.
You are completely wrong. You can not calculate everything in your life. This is maybe one reason because of population decline in West countries. Also if you measure your love in dollars this is not the love. Better do not make a family with that person. This is actually very serious theme. All other laughs are just a rubbish talk.
Being that finances is one of the leading reasons for divorce, her advice is crucial for every couple to discuss.

Such an important topic considering a lot of marriages end due to money problems. Better to get it straightened out before marriage.
This is brilliant. It’s personal, relatable, and simply plain facts. Love the sense of humor interwoven in the presentation. Fantastic delivery.

Great talk! Having open dialogue about finances is a must before a lifetime commitment. I am a huge proponent of being in alignment as a couple.
Leah this is spot on for me. I wished I had know this before tying the knot 14 years ago
Amazing advice for relationships. Financial compatability is so important but most don’t know how to discuss this. Great tips!
Great job Leah!!! Proud of you for your vulnerability and genuine desire to help others.

Every relationship has a spender & a saver.
There can be great spenders & terrible savers too, though.
I have yet to meet a couple who’s had the same.
Thank you ❤
I am the saver and he is the spender
Terrific video, Leah. Thank you!
Very necessary topic to be discussed

I made financial compatibility mistake twice. Because of it, I have never experienced love. Today it’s to late.
What was your mistake? Not to chose one who is compartible or to look too much on this?
Never settle♡
She is spot on!
Thank you!
Impactful and so informative🙌🏾

Could save alot of time, energy, and resentment.
This topic is so important! Amazing job Leah!
Very valuable information!
Great talk. 👍🏽
Excellent points!! Red flags are real and must pay attention to them
Love it!!!!!!

@@leahcollins8713 I don't trust people who don't like cats so that's a definite dealbreaker for me also🤣
Great job Leah!!!!
Thank you!
Great advice!
This is great
Interesting points to relate money and love, I'll send this to my husband to check it too. We also started a RUclips channel (psychology) but are planning to talk about love too.
Going to check it out, what platform?

Marriage as a financial arrangement.

Excellent presentation. Succinct and a pleasure to watch.
Thank you!
You're amazing Leah! Loved it!
Thank you!
Every idea has it's consequences. Bear it with ❤❤❤
She did good breaking it off. The truth hurts
Yesssss thank you!
I envy her strength to walk away
Thank you!
That was a very definition of a self-love. That must’ve been so hard.
Perfect
Thank you!
If we tell truth of finances...other person will use u...so it has to be secret.
Sounds like a personal problem.
How do I get to know all the topics she mentioned?
15 years is a red flag. It doesn't take that long to get married
Getting popcorn for the entitlement comments
On point!!!!
Very niiice
This is a sad warning sign, I hope next time she could end it with ‘I’ve met my financial compatibility partner’
How to die alone and single if you just take advise in the first half.😂
Women have so many red flags to do with salaries and being speciest.
Like are trying to find a match for your pet or you?
It doesn’t matter. Stop trying to commodity love.
0:12 "Like millions brides around the world, i canceled my wedding." 😂😂 I did not know women canceled weddings like that? I always thought it was men who refused to get married when they came to their senses.

That's just bad planning and communication
You are completely wrong. You can not calculate everything in your life. This is maybe one reason because of population decline in West countries.
Also if you measure your love in dollars this is not the love. Better do not make a family with that person.
This is actually very serious theme.
All other laughs are just a rubbish talk.
Red flag: She wants to talk about money all the time.
