In the arc of our relationship, we have from the beginning pretty much split everything 50 50. We basically split those 5050 and you would reimburse them from your bank account. And actually, I would say coming back to that earlier question of when I felt like spending was out of order for some reason, that's when I most felt it. But it was mostly because we were just in such different financial pictures.
Money is a leading cause of problems in relationships. It’s not just not having money, it’s conflict around money, lack of alignment, and the downstream effects of that.
Money is complicated because it’s influenced by your direct circumstances, but also by your childhood, psychology, and trajectory. It's also complicated because so few people talk openly and honestly about money.
In this episode, Steph and Cal open up the kimono and explore how they deal with and think about money in their relationship. They share their current working philosophy on money and stories about the things they struggle with and are still working on.
