Ep 69 | When Two Huge Incomes Don’t Add Up To Much


Listen Later

High-earning couples are some of the most financially anxious people and the math explains why. In this episode, she walks through what $300K actually leaves a couple with after taxes, rent, and life in a major city, and the number is not what anyone expects. But the real issue isn't the math. It's that most couples are making financial decisions in parallel instead of as a team. If this is you, this episode highlights the conversation you’ve been avoiding and the questions to finally have it.


 Takeaways:

  • Two incomes without a shared financial picture is not a partnership strategy.
  • Income is a data point. What someone actually does with money is a different question entirely.
  • The problem is almost never that couples disagree on money. It's that they've never gotten aligned.
  • Getting aligned is not a financial strategy. It is THE financial strategy.
