31. “Shopping at Target is like visiting a casino to me”

Money For Couples with Ramit Sethi

Lindsey and John are stuck. Despite earning a joint income of $150,000, John’s debt is crippling their relationship and financial future. They respond by self-soothing. John runs on auto-pilot avoidance strategies and refuses to get honest about his situation. Lindsey distracts herself with mindless spending sprees at Target. 

But neither are working together on a sustainable solution. It’s time to get honest. 

Lindsey and John are unsophisticated with their income and spending. If they want to become confident with money, they must become competent first. That means no more excuses for inaction. 

Let’s see what that looks like for Lindsey and John.
