Scenario

When couples disagree about money after social mobility

We both grew up working class and now we're making good money but we can't agree on what to do with it — I want to help my family and she wants to invest for our future and we're both carrying guilt about having more than where we came from. Every financial decision becomes this loaded conversation about who we used to be versus who we're becoming.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are navigating the emotional complexity of financial success while carrying different relationships to their class origins and family obligations.
