Money is tricky, even in the best of times.
In this week’s episode, we’re going deep into a big money topic: being the breadwinner. We’re discussing what it’s like when one partner is the sole breadwinner, and what happens when that situation needs to change.
In this episode:
- What Lisa’s business looked like prior to paying Jesse
- How Lisa started paying Jesse
- How we calculated household expenses to set a target income and decide if it was feasible to grow Lisa’s business to cover the household
- How Jesse felt with Lisa as the sole breadwinner
- How Lisa felt as the sole breadwinner
- How anxiety plays a part in being the breadwinner, and dealing with guilt when you can no longer provide at the same level
- Sharing responsibility, helping your partner, and accepting help from your partner
