Summary

Meet Ava, 36, and Chris, 38. When it comes to their finances, they do not see eye to eye; and they’re stuck in a cycle of overspending. Ava is a worrier who uses a labor-intensive ledger to track expenses, taking tons of time and energy every month (although they’re still in debt). Chris doesn't like Ava's approach, but he's sick of fighting about it. They just sold their house, and now they need my help to get on the same page before they make their next move. Can Ava and Chris set aside their finances and create a new way to talk about money together?
