Have you ever felt like people want you to do good but not too good? There seems to be a limit to what other people can handle when it comes to your success. This could cause you to censor your wins and successes simply because of what other might say.

It is hard to decide when, how, and which whom to share your financial progress. But it might be better to not care about the naysayers all together.

This week Chris and Ericka share how their financial wins caused some reflection and made them take pause. Listen in to hear how they handled the changes throughout their financial journey.

Everyone has their limits. Even if you don't say it out loud you know where the lines are drawn. You could have spending limits, relationship barriers, or family boundaries. These limits help you feel safe and keep you feeling like you can make it when times get tough or money is tight.

Have you thought about the things you either can't live without or the places in your relationship that you literally won't touch? In this episode, Chris and Ericka share what they call "non-negotiables" or "no matter what's."

It can be very helpful to know where the lines are drawn to protect you, your money, and your relationship. Listen in to hear more...

Have you ever wondered about how much money you need to have and then how much is actually ENOUGH? Is there an amount of money in which you will be happy and taken care of for life? And can you even save Enough?

The answer to this question is as unique as the person being asked. But trying to understand how much is enough brings up other discussions especially if you and your partner don't see eye to eye on what it is and how to get there.

Check out this week's episode to see what Chris and Ericka think about Enough.

Most people have heard of the 7-year itch in marriage. But what about the 10-year twitch? We aren't sure if that is a real syndrome but we do know that it was around that time when we struggled a little bit.

Every relationship has its ups and downs. We found ourselves in a challenging moment during what was supposed to be a happy or exciting time. Maybe it was for one of us but not all of us.

Listen to this week's episode to hear how we navigated this season.
