Summary

Today’s episode takes us to New York City, where I sit down with not two, but three couples live on stage at my Money for Couples event. First, meet Antonio (23) and Devonta (23), a young couple who in their 20s are already ahead of the game—earning money while finishing their degrees, having real conversations about finances, and even purchasing a home together. Next, we meet Pam (38) and Nic (40), who are struggling with a classic money dynamic: one partner earns significantly more and wants to “rescue” the other from financial stress. But as they discover, money alone can’t solve deeper issues of self-worth and financial confidence. And finally, for the first time ever on this show, a very special surprise guest joins me on stage.
