Episode notes

Both of us came in to when we got married with roughly equal net worth, which was actually very helpful for us. But at the same time, one thing that is interesting from this year is that while I made more money than you for most of our relationship, actually that has changed. And so we've had to adapt in that situation where it's like, how long can I go on this path where I'm not contributing equally?

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.
