- 2:30almost
- 2:30once
- 2:31or
- 2:31twice
- 2:31a
- 2:31week.
- 2:32It's
- 2:32the
- 2:32saver
- 2:33versus
- 2:33the
- 2:34spender.
- 2:35And
- 2:35friend,
- 2:35I
- 2:35want
- 2:36you
- 2:36to
- 2:36breathe.
- 2:36This
- 2:37isn't
- 2:37rare.
- 2:37This
- 2:38isn't
- 2:38hopeless.
- 2:39It's
- 2:39just
- 2:40human.
- 2:40Because
- 2:41here's
- 2:41the
- 2:41question
- 2:41I
- 2:41hear
- 2:41all
- 2:42the
- 2:42time,
- 2:42Ralph,
- 2:43I'm
- 2:43the
- 2:43saver,
- 2:44they're
- 2:44the
- 2:44spender.
- 2:44How
- 2:45are
- 2:45we
- 2:45supposed
- 2:45to
- 2:45make
- 2:46this
- 2:46work?
- 2:47But
- 2:47friend,
- 2:48behind
- 2:48that
- 2:48question
- 2:49is
- 2:49usually
- 2:50a
- 2:50lot
- 2:50of
- 2:50frustration,
- 2:51isn't
- 2:51it?
- 2:52And
- 2:52a
- 2:52lot
- 2:52of
- 2:52fear.
- 2:53Because
- 2:54money
- 2:54doesn't
- 2:54feel
- 2:54like
- 2:55math
- 2:55when
- 2:55you're
- 2:55living
- 2:56in
- 2:56it.
- 2:57It
- 2:57feels
- 2:57like
- 2:57security.
- 2:59So
- 2:59if
- 2:59you're
- 2:59the
- 3:00saver,
- 3:00you
- 3:00might
- 3:01feel
- 3:01anxious
- 3:01every
- 3:02time
- 3:02money
- 3:02leaves
- 3:02you
- 3:02Catholic
- 3:03home.
- 3:03And
- 3:03we
- 3:03are
- 3:03spending
- 3:04money
- 3:04like
- 3:04crazy.
- 3:05And
- 3:05you're
- 3:05not
- 3:06trying
- 3:06to
- 3:06be
- 3:06controlling,
- 3:07you're
- 3:07just
- 3:08trying
- 3:08to
- 3:08feel
- 3:08safe.
- 3:09But
- 3:10maybe
- 3:10you're
- 3:10the
- 3:10spender
- 3:11and
- 3:11you
- 3:12might
- 3:12feel
- 3:12criticized
- 3:13for
- 3:13wanting
- 3:13to
- 3:13enjoy
- 3:14life.
- 3:14Why
- 3:14is
- 3:14every
- 3:14time
- 3:15I
- 3:15spend
- 3:15something
- 3:15that
- 3:15Give
- 3:15me
- 3:15a
- 3:16hard
- 3:16time.
- 3:16I'm
- 3:17not
- 3:17trying
- 3:17to
- 3:17be
- 3:17reckless.
- 3:18I'm
- 3:19just
- 3:19trying
- 3:19to
- 3:19feel
- 3:19free,
- 3:20Ralph.
- 3:21And
- 3:22if
- 3:22you're
- 3:22both
- 3:22honest,
- 3:23both
- 3:24of
- 3:24you
- 3:24probably
- 3:24feel
- 3:25misunderstood.
- 3:26See,
- 3:26that
- 3:27doesn't
- 3:27mean
- 3:27that
- 3:27your
- 3:27relationship
- 3:28is
- 3:28doomed.
- 3:29It
- 3:29just
- 3:29means
- 3:29you're
- 3:30different.
- 3:31And
- 3:31differences
- 3:31need
- 3:32wisdom,
- 3:32not
- 3:33judgment.
- 3:34Here's
- 3:35something
- 3:35important
- 3:35to
- 3:35remember.
- 3:36Saver
- 3:37spender
- 3:37dynamics
- 3:38is
- 3:38incredibly
- 3:39common.
- 3:40And
- 3:41neither
- 3:41role
- 3:41is
- 3:42right
- 3:42or
- 3:42wrong.
- 3:42So
- 3:42those
- 3:42are
- 3:42the
- 3:42two
- 3:43things
- 3:43we
- 3:43need
- 3:43to
- 3:43understand.
- 3:43It's
- 3:44common.
- 3:44And
- 3:44guess
- 3:45what?
- 3:45Neither
- 3:45of
- 3:45you
- 3:46is
- 3:46right
- 3:46and
- 3:46neither
- 3:47of
- 3:47you
- 3:47is
- 3:47wrong.
- 3:48Problems
- 3:48don't
- 3:49come
- 3:49from
- 3:49the
- 3:49differences.
- 3:50They
- 3:50come
- 3:50from
- 3:50an
- 3:50imbalance.
- 3:52See,
- 3:52when
- 3:52saving
- 3:53becomes
- 3:53fear
- 3:54driven,
- 3:55it
- 3:55turns
- 3:55into
- 3:55tight
- 3:56fists.
- 3:57And
- 3:58when
- 3:58spending
- 3:58becomes
- 3:59avoidance,
- 4:00it
- 4:00turns
- 4:00into
- 4:00denial.
- 4:02But
- 4:02when
- 4:02both
- 4:02are
- 4:03healthy,
- 4:04savings
- 4:04looks
- 4:05like
- 4:05stability
- 4:06and
- 4:06spending
- 4:07looks
- 4:07like
- 4:07joy.
- 4:07Don't
- 4:08you
- 4:08want
- 4:08that?
- 4:09And
- 4:09friend,
- 4:09you
- 4:10actually
- 4:10need
- 4:10both
- 4:11of
- 4:11those
- 4:11things.
- 4:12And
- 4:12I've
- 4:13worked
- 4:13with
- 4:13many
- 4:13couples
- 4:14just
- 4:14like

- 4:15just
- 4:15like
- 4:15you

- 4:18more
- 4:19like
- 4:19me,
- 4:19everything
- 4:20would
- 4:20be
- 4:20fine.
- 4:22But
- 4:22here's
