Scenario

When partners from different class backgrounds plan major life events together

My partner comes from generational wealth and I'm first-generation college, and we're planning our wedding but every conversation about money reveals how differently we think about what's 'reasonable' to spend and what our families expect. We keep talking past each other about the budget and I can feel both of us getting defensive about things we're not even naming directly.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Class differences create invisible frameworks for decision-making that partners struggle to recognize and bridge.
