Accountant here. He's spot on with the "buying shit we don't need, can't afford, to impress people we don't know ."

I personally got sick, lost my job and my fiance left me. Dodged a bullet.

Despite divorce being as horrific as it is to financial and mental health, half of all married humans will opt for that option rather than staying married. That should tell you everything you need to know about this marvelous institution.

Aww. I’m a mid 40s woman in small town CO, and I’m always so excited when I can listen to James while getting ready in the morning!

Title should read "Not having money ruins everything"

Privacy is a must. Doors closed. Boundaries are key. Some amount of mystery to maintain the attraction and desire. 👻

My Ex husband and i struggled raising children while he created a business; once he started making money/ succeeded he cheated.

It's horrible when you don't have money leading to destitution and helplessness. But excess money can also cause relationship issues.

She was so hung up on money and getting me to work and getting more money but didn't want to accept the reality of what it took to get it.

Money etc tends to reveal character. If you can't trust your spouse with money. Oh boy lol

I was in real estate for almost 2 decades. The number one reason for divorce, the credit card stopped working. In most cases, it would take at least two years of no spending, no vacations and hard work to get back on track. Too big a lifestyle change, easier to file for divorce, find another man and move on.

Re: Money. When my friends would go through a period of constantly complaining about their SO I would ask them "If you had a milllion dollars would you still be with them?" That tends to sort out crap really fast :-) Love your channel!

18:40 - Privacy, yes. However there should always be a “open door” policy. IE if I ask to see your phone or you ask to see mine, there should be no hesitation to do so.

Your comment about money is very timely, thank you. Currently have a high income and sustainable career. Tempted to lean into even higher income but much more time consuming and pressure role. My dad left when I was 1 so my kids having both parents and an emotionally stable household is important to me. Your message helps to confirm my gut and to ignore my FOMO

From many perspectives I’m lucky to be single, so many people just drag you down to their level, thus, limiting one’s potential…

Nothing hurts a relationship more than lack of money.

I’ve never met a man I wanted to give up all the others for…it must be me.🤷🏼‍♀️

I just cant imagine spending every single second with one individual. I need space and I need my alone time weekly. Especially while using the bathroom, that's a boundary I will not change.
