3 Unspoken Money Rules Many African Homes Pass Down
(and How They Show Up in Marriage)

Rule #1: The Eldest Must Provide

Growing up, many firstborns were treated as the family’s “backup parent.” That sense of obligation often persists into adulthood, known as the "Black Tax."

Eventually in Marriages:
- One spouse feels pressured to send money home every month.
- The other feels sidelined from joint financial decisions.
- Boundaries blur between love, duty, and guilt.

Rule #2: Never Talk About Money Outside

In many African homes, discussing money, income, debt, or family wealth is seen as taboo or disrespectful.

When married:
- Couples avoid serious conversations until a crisis hits.
- Transparency feels uncomfortable, not intimate.
- Financial secrets lead to mistrust.

Rule #3: Saving Is a Group Sport

Traditional savings circles (Njangi, Esusu, Sou-Sou, Ajo) taught collaboration and delayed gratification.
These systems strengthened communities — but also created collective pressure.

In Marriage:
- Couples struggle to balance “helping others” with personal goals.
- One partner prioritizes community ties; the other values independence.

Unlearning doesn’t mean dishonoring your culture. It means evolving it.
Healthy marriages require both honoring where you come from and creating new money rules together.

📍Save this post to revisit before your next money talk.

✨Share with your partner to start that conversation today.

Did your parents tell you what their income was?

BFR Fam,

Let’s be honest… money and family can get awkward. 😅
Especially when the people you love most start weighing in on how you and your partner handle your finances.

Maybe your in-laws offer to help with bills (but expect a say in how you spend).
Maybe they ask about your income… or suggest how you should budget.
It can start with good intentions and still create big tension.

Here’s the thing 👇
Setting financial boundaries with your in-laws isn’t about being rude or ungrateful.
It’s about protecting your marriage and your peace. ❤️

A few ways to make it smoother:

💬 1. Get on the same page first.
Before talking to family, decide with your partner what’s okay and what’s not. When you present a united front, you avoid confusion — and drama.

🙌 2. Be kind but clear.
You can say, “We really appreciate your offer, but we’ve decided to handle our finances on our own.”
Clear doesn’t mean cold it means confident.

🏠 3. Keep money talk private.
If your in-laws start asking about your income or debt, it’s okay to draw the line:

“We’re keeping that between us, but thank you for understanding.”

💖 4. Gratitude ≠ obligation.
You can appreciate their help without agreeing to every request. Boundaries and respect can coexist beautifully.

When you and your partner protect your financial space together, you’re not just managing money you’re building trust.

If you’ve ever struggled with this (and who hasn’t?)😁
What tips have worked for you?
