Scenario

When couples have income disparities in their first jobs

My boyfriend and I just graduated and he wants to move in together to save money, but I make twice what he does and I'm worried about how we'll split everything without creating resentment. We keep having surface-level conversations about rent and groceries but we're both avoiding the deeper questions about financial independence and what we actually expect from each other.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people must negotiate financial intimacy when their earning power differs significantly in the foundational years.
