Ramit Sethi talks to someone about how they track grocery spending in a jar. Ramit admits he's been sabotaging their joint finance meetings by avoiding uncomfortable money conversations, revealing the avoidance patterns couples fall into around money.
We've tried different methods, especially with groceries. Let's keep all the receipts from when we shop so we can gauge how much we're fully spending on groceries.
So you went along, you put the receipts in a jar. What happened?
I did it. I did it separately from you.
I quietly sabotaged our finance meetings, not doing— Wow. This stuff. Why'd you do that? Because it's uncomfortable. Okay.
Yeah.
And so when things are uncomfortable, your response is don't, don't do them. Yeah. Yeah. So you sabotaged it. And then Shelby, your response was I just kind of gave up. Yeah.
