Marriage brings about several financial changes. You’ll likely share expenses like rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, and insurance, which can affect your budget, savings, and spending habits. Marriage also can change inheritance laws and estate taxes, so updating your will, beneficiaries, and other estate planning documents is also important.
While getting married doesn’t directly impact credit scores, jointly held accounts or loans can affect both spouses’ credit histories. Becoming a couple may change your filing status, potentially affecting your tax liability, deductions, and credits.
