Summary

Today’s couple is actually on the same page when it comes to their Rich Life, but they’re not making much progress toward it. Alex brings in $70k from a full time job. Charlotte runs their joint business that isn’t making much money yet, but should be soon. They both know what they want, they just have different perspectives on how to get there. Despite their income recently doubling, they are living paycheck to paycheck—while outright ignoring over $200k in student loan debt. Charlotte believes the universe will take care of them … but when it doesn’t, Alex feels like he has to step in and fix everything. Charlotte is highly intuitive, but intuition alone won’t get you to a Rich Life—you also need to be able to analyze your situation. Hearing Charlotte and Alex work toward common ground may help you realize where you’re playing small in life by relying too much on one skill set while ignoring the other.
