When partners have different financial capacity for climate action

My partner and I both care deeply about climate action but we're in completely different financial situations and when we talk about making changes - like whether to retrofit our house or how much to donate to climate organizations - it brings up all this tension about money and privilege that we don't know how to navigate. We want to live our values together but we keep getting stuck on what's realistic versus what's necessary.
