Summary

Worried about the stock market or a possible recession? Register for our FREE 'Don't Panic' workshop for your 3-step plan for financial security in 2025: herfirst100k.com/SOS We spend so much time stressing over budgets, investments, credit scores—basically, all the numbers. But what if I told you the biggest financial decision you’ll ever make isn’t about money at all? In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the one life choice that will shape every part of your financial future—and yet, almost nobody talks about it. This isn’t another investing episode (though those are important too). This is about who you choose to build a life with, and why that decision matters more than almost anything else when it comes to your long-term wealth, career growth, and personal freedom. Whether you're single and dating, in a committed relationship, or reevaluating your partnership, I’m breaking down what a healthy, equitable financial relationship actually looks like—and the red flags you cannot ignore. If you're ready to make smarter decisions about your love life and your financial life, this is your episode. Let’s dig into the conversation that could save your money—and maybe even your peace.
