Is a relationship truly intimate if banking situations remain a secret? In the twentieth episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo welcome close friend and Mediacorp YES 933 radio DJ Evelyn Chen Qi Jia to the studio for a transparent sharing session on navigating money, debt tracking, and societal expectations. 

 

The dialogue addresses a recent couples study revealing that 68% of partners remain in the dark about their significant other's financial reality until they move in together, using it as a springboard to define the concept of "financial intimacy.” The group unpacks the structural framework of the "Yours, Mine, Ours" allocation system, evaluating how distinct upbringings dictate whether an individual holds onto money tightly or prioritizes lifestyle spending.
