Episode 68: Finance Questions - You Asked, Brett Advised & Marriage Myths

Lindsey and Brett answer listener-submitted finance questions and get into some real-life scenarios around money, control, spending, hidden credit cards, and whether couples are actually on the same page financially. They talk through situations like one spouse acting broke while still spending freely, secret credit card debt, hobby spending, and what happens when one partner expects the lifestyle without contributing to it. They also revisit a round of marriage myths, including whether having kids brings couples closer, whether partners should share everything, whether people really change, and whether you should stay no matter what. It is a mix of practical financial advice, honest relationship takes, and the kind of conversation that feels very real if you have ever tried to navigate marriage and money at the same time.
