Scenario

When couples disagree about supporting extended family abroad

My wife and I moved to the US five years ago and we've built up some savings, but we disagree about how much we should be sending back to support our extended families in Ghana. She thinks we're being selfish keeping so much here while people back home struggle, but I worry we're not building enough security for our own future.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
