65. “I make $200k/month. He makes $2k. Who pays for dates?” (Part 2)
About this episode
Connie and Wes have severe gender expectations. Connie desperately wants Wes to be the “man” in the relationship and pay for dinner. But when he tries, she scolds him to save for the future instead. This toxic dynamic is made worse by what we last heard in part 1… Connie’s net worth is—get this—over $6 million!
Can someone who’s making over $200k a month ever feel in balance with a partner bringing home $2k? The answer, of course, is yes—but getting Connie there is one of the biggest challenges we’ve ever faced on the podcast.
The canyons between their bank accounts and understanding of money are immense. Listen in as we bring them together with a shared vision of equity, respect, and joy.
