Brought to you by the Every Dollar app. Start budgeting for free today. Today's question, Jade,

comes from Isaac in Ohio. Yeah, he says my wife and I are recently married and found a house that we would

like to buy for $600,000. We earn about the same amount a year, $600,000 a year, and we have zero debt.

Good. My wife has over 200,000

sitting in a savings account, and I own a home that I bought before a marriage. I proposed,

she put down $150,000 of her savings for the down payment and put the house in her name.

She comes from a divorced household, so it's why I suggested putting the home in her

name. Her family thinks it should be the man's responsibility to pay for the house, and she

should not be putting down any money. I don't know what type of world these people live in, but it's not

the 1950s anymore. They don't seem to comprehend that I already own a house and can't just buy another one.

What can I say to knock some financial common sense into these people?

Isaac, I'm going to knock some financial sense into you, dude.

Listen, you're both wrong.

All of you are wrong.

Here's the thing. There's just a lot of I, me,

his, her, all these, this individual talk. And we're married, right? My wife and I are recently

married. And so I just think that the same way that you feel that her side of the family kind of has this outdated or erroneous way of thinking.

I honestly think, Isaac, you have a little bit of it too because you guys are very separate.

And I understand that you're in many ways trying to honor like some of her previous trauma and her previous pain with the divorce.

But I would think of that as even more reason to cling on to the fact that we're together.

I'm not going anywhere.

We're making this work.
