Scenario

When couples have mismatched financial security needs and anxiety levels

My husband and I disagree about how much emergency savings we need - he wants six months of expenses saved and I want two years because I can't sleep at night without knowing we could survive anything. Our different anxiety levels about money are making it impossible to set shared financial goals.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Differing relationships to financial safety are creating planning paralysis and emotional distance between committed partners.
