He joins Cheddar to talk about their new app and why couples have such a hard time with finances.

John Hancock wanted to create an app that simplified this process. Dorval shares some saving hacks. He says couples should pick something and then just get started. Pick a goal that you are emotionally invested in. A lot of couples get started by saving for a mortgage or their dream vacation.
