Ramit Sethi counsels Amani and Matt through a money fight. They keep separate accounts after Matt once supported them both. Amani gets emotionally drained and defensive; Matt feels misunderstood.
Do you have separate accounts?
We have separate accounts.
We do, yes.
Okay. Did you ever have a joint account in the past?
Yes.
When I supported us, we had a joint account.
I'm gonna check out this conversation because I've heard this like 10,000 times already. Just today.
That's the end of the conversation.
I'm just tired. It's like emotionally draining.
You fight about money, you spin about money and then what ends up happening?
I get defensive.
And then I get mad. Let me just talk to her. Trust me, you're not doing yourself any favors by cutting it. Trust me.
So I just don't understand why she didn't understand what I mean.
And I don't understand why you're like, oh, you know, when I worked, I felt this and this and this. Well, then go work then if it's such a big deal for you. Like.
