Let's go with Option A.
You know you want to spend the future together, you're just not entirely sure what that looks like. In fact, you might have different ideas for how you'd like to spend the different stages of the rest of your lives. Regardless of your similarities and differences, at some point your goals are going to involve money.
According to a recent Money Magazine poll, 70% of couples fight about finances. In extreme cases, money has contributed to the failure of many marriages or partnerships. Don't let it happen to you. Invest in your future together with a clear picture of the lives you want to build together. Most importantly, determine how to pay for it.
