22. “I’m quitting my job, but I’m worried my husband doesn't support me”

Money For Couples with Ramit Sethi

Alexandra and Brandon have a household income of $135,000. Alex just handed in her one week’s notice, but she still has financial needs, and she’s scared to broach the subject of spending money on herself with her husband.

As we talk, it becomes apparent that self-agency has been absent from other aspects of their lives. From their relationship to career choices, both have been playing by everyone else’s rulebook but their own. 

These conversations have been on the back burner for long enough—it’s time to get candid.
