Before we get back to the episode, I want to make sure you know about something that I'm sending out this Saturday.

You know, when I was in my 20s, I spent money like a lot of people in their 20s do going out for drinks, eating cheap food, a little bit of traveling, but in my 40s, my spending looks really different.

And that's totally normal. Have you ever thought about how your money spending changes from your 20s to your 30s of 40s and beyond?

That's what I'm going to talk about this Saturday.

Because as you earn more and as your values change, so should your spending.

Get on my podcast newsletter at IWT.com slash podcast newsletter so I can share what changed in my spending in my 20s, 30s and 40s.

That's this Saturday, October 7th. You can only get this at IWT.com slash podcast newsletter. Now back to the episode.

I am the result of my mom's sacrifices and I can be the American dream that she wanted.

But I want to be different than the situation that my mom had.

You are different. Your mom never had a million dollars.

It doesn't feel like a lot of money.

Try this one out.

One day when I'm an old lady, I might be kicked out on the street in the rain, having to take care of my children with one umbrella and a backpack and that's it.

Katie, did you ever receive that message?

Yeah, because my dad did exactly that.

Most people believe that once they have more money, they'll stop fighting about it. They'll stop being stressed about it.

There's this idea that if you earn 25% more or 50% more, suddenly all of your financial problems will disappear.

I want to show you that that's not true.

Your feelings about money are highly uncorrelated with how much money you have in the bank.

On today's episode, you get to hear from a couple who are high earners, yet they still have tension around money.

Meet Katie and Sean. She's 30. He's 32.

And they're high earners. They make about $460,000 a year together.
