Episode 30 — Is It Worth It? (Part 1) Subscriptions, Eating Out & Private Schools

In this episode, we dive into the everyday decisions couples face and unpack the real question behind them: How do we decide if something is truly worth it for our family?

From the streaming subscriptions we forget to cancel, to whether eating out is convenience or comfort, to the massive long-term decision of public versus private schooling — we explore not just the cost, but the why behind each choice.

Together, we break down:

✨ Subscriptions — Are Netflix, Spotify & all the others adding value, or just adding guilt?

✨ Eating Out vs Cooking at Home — Is it about saving money, saving time, or saving our sanity?

✨ Private Schooling — Do the opportunities justify the fees? What about convenience, academics, and family values?

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• The hidden psychology behind everyday spending
• How we personally evaluate “value” as a couple
• The difference between cost, convenience, and emotional payoff
• Why what’s worth it changes depending on your season of life
• Practical questions to help you and your partner decide what works best for your family

If you’ve ever wondered, “Should we keep this subscription?” or “Is private school really worth it?”, this episode will give you both sides — without judgement.

🎧 Listen now and start redefining what ‘worth it’ looks like in your home.
