Scenario

When couples have different relationships with money due to their backgrounds

My husband and I keep fighting about money but it's never really about money — it's about the fact that I grew up poor and he didn't and we see security completely differently. Every financial decision becomes this deeper thing about trust and fear that we can never seem to get to the bottom of.

More people experience this than they realize.
