  • 137: My Mom Gifted Me a $400K Property and Won't Include My Boyfriend. Am I the A-hole?

    Send us Fan Mail

    A woman on Threads wrote that she is being gifted a $400,000 rental property by her mother, but only in her name, with a legal agreement keeping it separate from any future marriage. Her boyfriend of three years is furious. He wanted to sell it and use the money toward a bigger place for them both. When she explained her mom's conditions, he packed a bag and moved in with a friend.

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down why the mom's conditions are not just reasonable, they are smart. They also dig into what the boyfriend's reaction actually reveals about his character, why inheritance and asset protection are conversations every couple should be having, and what their own postnuptial agreement says about inherited wealth.

    Their verdict? Take the property. And seriously reconsider the relationship.

  • 136: The Fight Behind the Fight: How Couples Argue About Money Without Saying It

    Send us Fan Mail

    You just had a fight about the dishwasher. Or the thermostat. Or the vacation your partner keeps putting off. Spoiler: it wasn't about any of those things.

    Most arguments couples have about money are actually about something much deeper, and once you learn to spot it, you can't unsee it.

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down how couples argue about money without ever actually talking about money. They share their own real-life examples, including Jessica's recent "I want to save $100,000" moment (and what was really underneath it), the time Brandon left Jessica's stocking empty on Christmas, and how they finally got on the same page about paying for their kids' college.

    You'll also learn the DREAM framework, their 5-step approach to decoding what your money arguments are really about and having the conversations that actually fix them.

    What you'll learn:

    • Why fights about Target runs, utility bills, and vacation planning are rarely about the money
    • How scarcity mindsets and childhood money memories show up in your relationship right now
    • The exact phrase that helps you peel back what a money argument is really about
    • When to pause mid-fight and how to schedule a money date that actually works
    • How tools like Monarch Money can eliminate the visibility gaps that fuel conflict

  • 135: One Injury Away From Financial Ruin: Disability Insurance Explained

    Send us Fan Mail

    Your ability to earn money is your most valuable financial asset, and most people have zero protection for it.


    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down disability insurance from the ground up: what it actually covers, why your employer's policy probably isn't enough, and how to plug the gaps before something happens.

    You'll learn:

    • The difference between short-term and long-term disability, and why most people confuse them
    • Why 60% of your base salary sounds fine until you do the math
    • The critical policy feature that determines whether you can actually collect (own occupation vs. any occupation)
    • How the underwriting process works, and why your medical records matter more than you think
    • Why disability insurance may be more important than life insurance
    • The future increase rider that lets you grow your coverage without going through medical underwriting again

    If you have income and people who depend on it, this episode is non-negotiable.

  • 132: Why Debt Hits Harder After 35 (And What To Do About It)

    Send us Fan Mail

    Debt in your 20s felt manageable. Now it's competing with your mortgage, your kids, your aging parents, and your retirement clock and it's winning. 

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon unpack why debt feels so much heavier in your late 30s and 40s, why making more money didn't fix it, and what to actually do now. They discuss the “invest vs. pay off debt” debate, the identity shift you need before any strategy will stick, and the one action item that will bring immediate clarity. 

    Real talk from two elder millennials who get it.

  • 131: Pack Extra Underwear And Get A Postnup

    Send us Fan Mail

    Your spouse just found out they're inheriting money, and now they want a postnup. Do you panic, or do you see it for what it actually is?

    In this episode, Jessica and Brandon break down the real purpose of prenups and postnups, share why they got one after almost a decade of marriage, and explain why the stigma around these agreements is costing couples more than they realize. Spoiler: your state already wrote your prenup. You just don't know what it says.

    They cover what to actually include in a postnup (inheritance, kids' accounts, mortgages, debt), why you don't divorce the same person you married, and why building these protections while love is high is the smartest financial move a couple can make.

    Think of it as love insurance, you hope you never need it, but you'll be grateful it's there.
