Married two women that understood combined resources
Is how you build wealth
Wife makes slightly more than me
In my 20s I hated ambitious women
Always felt like I should be doing more
When I was by myself single and working into the ground
My perspective changed
I understood money better and how to actually be a partner
No one man or woman should carry all the burden
That’s why you have the money talk once shyt gets really serious
You get old and that man pride shyt disappears
I still spend the most when we are out but it’s not a competition
We go back and forth and who ever sees the house bills first
Pays it
Mortgage comes out of a joint account as well as the home insurance
Other than that
I have my money
She has hers but we consult each other before buying something for ourselves so it’s no secrets
I was a sneaker whore at one point but that’s died down tremendously
Ex wife used to get mad about those purchases which made sense
But then I would get mad at her makeup purchases
New wife we talk that shyt out and see if we really want or need that “item” that bad
Maturity with money vs young with money talks hit different
