I'll drop a cruisy $1,000 on a Friday for self-care, Ryan's cut his own hair for 30 years. I grew up picking mould off church-donated pies; Ryan grew up tithing 10% in a single-income Mormon household of five kids. Two completely different money stories and a marriage with zero money fights. This week, that's not luck. It's five conversations.
Money is the #1 reason couples divorce worldwide, so Ryan and I sat down and had every money conversation most couples avoid, live and unscripted (he didn't know the questions). Joint or separate accounts. Who pays for what when incomes differ. What happens when she earns more. The $30K we lost on an investment together and why it didn't break us. Credit cards, points, trust funds, provision, spending thresholds, and the question that ends the episode: what is all of this actually for?
As promised, the five conversations to take to your own date night this week:
- What did money mean in the house you grew up in?
- Whose money is it, actually - and what's our system?
- What happens when one of us earns more?
- What are we building - and what would we risk for it?
- What is "enough" - and what is all of this actually for?
If this episode helped you, send it to a couple who needs it (or forward it to your own partner with no further comment 😏) and if you loved it, a review truly means the world to me.
