Episode notes
Money Scripts
- Shay Harris-Pierre introduces four money scripts: money avoidant, money status, money worship, and money vigilant.
- These scripts represent core beliefs about money and influence financial behaviors in relationships.
Understanding Differences
- Understand your partner's money personality instead of judging their financial decisions.
- Recognize that different financial perspectives are not inherently wrong, but stem from individual experiences and values.
Socioeconomic Differences
- Cross-socioeconomic relationships can resemble cross-cultural relationships due to differing financial understandings.
- This can lead to conflict, especially when one partner controls finances due to income disparity, like when one parent stays home.
