For her and Jimenez, flexibility works best: “Ano maibigay mo, magkano maibigay mo. Ito ba ilalagay natin?”

Reynes also offered practical advice for couples to set up multiple accounts.

“Maganda rin na hindi lang iisa ang account… That way kasi alam n'yo saan napunta? Wala kayong tanungan, because you know and you never, never, never fight about money sa totoo lang.”
