Money is Personal
Everyone has a different relationship to money, how you manage your finances, how you think about goals is all unique to you. To help you gain a deeper understanding of yours and your loved ones, relationships with money, we’ve developed the Jointly Financial Personality Framework.
Partnering with social and economic scientists from Harvard & Ohio State Universities we’ve used machine learning and academic research on consumer behavior, financial well-being, and general happiness to develop a proprietary algorithm to determine someone’s financial personality.

About Jointly
Jointly was started to help couples get control of shared spending, have a more productive conversation about money, and manage the financial aspects of their life ‘projects’ as a true team.
Our applications and tools were developed with the insight of social and economic scientists, using current research on consumer behavior, financial well-being, and general happiness. We provide a framework that enables couples to better manage shared spending, understand each other’s relationship with money, and organize and manage their shared financial goals.
