Listen "5 Money Fights"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all been there:🔹 Debating if your adult kids need another "loan" or just a reality check.🔹 Arguing about who inherits grandma’s prized casserole dish.🔹 Rolling your eyes at yet another Amazon box mysteriously appearing at your doorstep.
Money fights happen. But they don’t have to turn your relationship into a Netflix drama.
Here are 5 common money battles couples face—and how to fix them:
1️⃣ Supporting Adult Kids:They're adults, but somehow your payroll keeps growing. Time to draw some boundaries before your home turns into a wildlife preserve (you know, "Don’t feed the animals," right?).
2️⃣ Inheritance Drama:Decide together who gets what before your kids decide with lawyers. (Spoiler alert: No one enjoys a family feud sequel).
3️⃣ Opposite Spending Styles:Whether you're the "budget wizard" or the "flash sale aficionado," create space for BOTH styles. A little compromise = fewer glares at dinner.
4️⃣ Hidden Spending:If you’re hiding packages or credit card statements, you're not hiding money—you’re hiding trust issues. Pour some bourbon, and have the talk regularly. No judgment, just honesty.
5️⃣ Conflicting Goals:Camper vs. 401(k)? Retirement vs. adventure? It’s not "either/or," it’s "yes, and." Dream together, plan together, thrive together.
