Story about aligning financial goalsfrom @bradjcho

Transcript

Money changed my relationship, and I couldn't look at her the same. My girlfriend doesn't track every expense, and I have a spreadsheet for everything. She's not a spender, but she's just not obsessed with the details like me. And while I put every little expense into a budget and a tracker, she thought I was making it a little bit more complicated than it had to be. So when we first talked about money, it got heated. Better the thing is we weren't fighting about money. We were fighting about the method, and we never asked each other the real question. What is the money for? And when we finally talked about it, we realized something. We wanted the same thing. She wants to make sure I never have to worry about running out of the basics or the essentials, and I wanna make sure she never has to worry about our future because we both want to spoil each other and make memories that last forever. You don't have to budget the same way and you don't have to track every dollar the same, but you do have to agree on the goal because money isn't about the spreadsheets or what you're spending. It's about what you're building together. You see, when you align on the why, the how doesn't matter as much. Because she focuses on the big picture while I focus on the details. We both care about our finances, but show it differently. We don't fight about money anymore because we both know what it's for, each other.
