21. Part 2: “I want to trust my wife with our money, but what if she blows everything?”

This is part two with Charles and Michelle. He has a net worth of well over $10 million but still uses someone else’s Netflix password. After 21 years, Michelle has reached her limit with his relentless cheapness.

Charles is trying to rewrite his internal money story, but after years of playing the “I’m not the kind of guy who blows money on X, Y, Z,” card, he still worries about extreme what-if scenarios, driving Michelle to consider divorce.

As you listen, think about the areas you’re afraid to spend money on. Ask yourself what your worry-free number is.

Now, let’s try to get Charles and Michelle to meet halfway.
