Scenario

When couples clash over financial obligations to extended family

My spouse and I disagree about how much financial help to give my elderly parents and it's causing tension in our marriage — I feel guilty not helping more and they feel like we're jeopardizing our own kids' future. Every conversation about money becomes about competing loyalties.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Money becomes the language for love when resources are finite but needs feel infinite and every choice means disappointing someone who matters.
