Week 5 of Rebel Finance School tackles something most finance courses avoid entirely: how to actually talk about money without it turning into a fight. Alan and Katie Donegan cover the communication side first — why money conversations go wrong, and practical ways to discuss finances with a partner (or anyone) without stress, shame, or conflict.

The second half gets tactical: how to run a monthly finance meeting that keeps you on track with your goals. They walk through a step-by-step structure you can use straight away — what to review, how often, and how to keep it motivating rather than miserable.

By the end, you’ll:
• Have a practical framework for discussing money without triggering defensiveness or arguments
• Know exactly how to set up and run a monthly finance meeting
• Understand how regular financial check-ins compound (just like interest) into long-term results
• Be able to keep your spending and goals aligned month to month, not just once a year in January
