I know that what we can do together is more than what either of us can do individually.

But also like I'm also a little bit of a rebel where I'm just like I don't want to do

those household things because I saw my mom do them and she wasn't happy about it.

How do you deal with money in a relationship if your partner refuses to spend it?

It's easy to feel resentful because suddenly your world has shrugged.

You might have the money between the two of you but your spending is going to be determined

by the lowest common denominator in your relationship, your partner who just might not want to spend

money on certain things. Well today I want to introduce you to Gemma and Jack.

They're both 35 and Jack has really strong opinions about what they should not spend money on.

Like when they recently moved Jack refused to hire movers saying it was a waste of money.

So he ended up spending his limited vacation time moving all their furniture three blocks away

consuming what could have been their time together. Gemma and Jack have an income of over
