The Money Fight Every Couple Has
In this episode of PF Unfiltered, PF sits down with Dami and Lolade Akibola, an incredible couple to discuss one of the most challenging aspects of marriage: MONEY!!. If you've ever wondered how to handle finances as a married couple, especially when cultural expectations clash with modern realities, this conversation is essential.
Dami and Lolade share their journey from college students with completely different money mindsets to building a strong financial partnership. Lolade grew up hyper-aware of money after losing her father at age 11, determined never to be broke. Dami, on the other hand, came from a family where he saw how money was spent but never how it was earned—leading to regular overdrafts and zero savings in college. Their story proves that where you start financially doesn't determine where you finish.
