I very much feel that whenever I want to spend money on myself it is an asking for permission

and I'd rather not ask permission so I just go without.

I have a question.

Do I get any budget for things I need or do I need to wait until I'm earning my own

money to be able to have my own budget for things I want to spend on myself?

That's a question. That's my my answer there, right?

I know there's things underneath the surface for both of us that we're not saying to each

other. We maybe just harbor a bit of resentment towards each other.

Hi, I'm Remi's Saitin. Welcome to the I Will Teach Would Be Rich podcast. Today I'm talking

to Alex and Brandon. Alex is 33 years old and she's jumped from job to job for years.

In fact, she just recently quit her latest job. Brandon is 34 years old and he brings in

$135,000 a year. Now, the reason that they originally reached out was Alex felt resentful

over having to ask for money, almost like an allowance. A little bit of context. Brandon

brings in $135,000 a year. They have about $85,000 in savings and investments. They also

have $78,000 in debt. But this relationship is unlike many others that you've heard of

because Brandon and Alex were previously married, then they got divorced and then they

got remarried. In today's episode, you're going to hear lots of fascinating variables.

You're going to hear so much indecision. They talk around issues. You're going to hear

them admitting that they've basically done what others told them to do for most of their

lives. But now Brandon and Alex are realizing that they don't really know what they want

for themselves. At times today's episode is going to be very frustrating to listen to.

But the layers here are quite fascinating. Let's listen in.
