‘Most people get very uncomfortable when they talk about money and it only gets worse when they are in a relationship because it is just so awkward,’ he said. ‘But you have to be open about it.’
He added: ‘And the earlier you talk about money, the better. It’s best to get it out of the way in the early part of the relationship to set the tone.’
Lauren said that they really ‘work together and share the financial responsibility.’

‘There are a million different ways to handle money,’ said Cameron.
Lauren added: ‘If you sort out what those ways are early on, you are in sync. And that leads to a healthy relationship.’

‘We love the outdoors so hikes are a big deal for us,’ said Lauren.
Cameron added, ‘We like to go into the mountains and into nature reserves.’
Lauren then said, ‘He takes his time on hikes. Like when he sees an unusual wildflower, he will stop and look at it, discuss it. He gets really into it! I am a city girl but I am getting used to being more outdoors and appreciating the beauty.’

Another thing they love to do together is have Movie Nights.
‘We get all cozy and see what’s on,’ said Lauren with her spouse adding, ‘we have recently watched all the Star Wars movies, Lauren likes them. And The Mandalorian is great.’
Dinner dates are not casual. ‘Once a week we will get all dressed up, light the candles and enjoy a fine dinner. It makes us feel like it’s special, like it’s a big night.’
Cameron is more of the chef, often cooking from scratch, while Lauren says with a laugh, ‘I like to do the eating, I do that well.’

As far as splurging, Lauren says she does have one weakness: food.
‘I love to spend on good food, and I do go to Whole Foods and load up on the best, it’s important for me to eat well,’ she said. ‘There are so many delicious options there, it’s so welcoming.’
