A couple earning $400k annually with $2.18M in net worth still feels broke. They're disorganized with money, don't trust their advisor or each other, and can't shake the paycheck-to-paycheck anxiety despite being wealthy on paper.
Holy.
We have a couple here who's making $400,000 plus per year, and you are saying it feels like we are living paycheck to paycheck.
We're not organized in how we manage it, it feels like. Nope, it's here. Might as well spend it.
$2.18 million net worth. What do you think about those numbers?
To me, net worth is just a number.
Means nothing to you? Yeah,
I'm not sure that it's enough. I don't have confidence.
The two of you are really stuck in a cycle. The real cost here is that the two of you just are not having fun with money.
Is this, like, how she really thinks of me? Like, I thought 140 was a respectable income. I know it's not anywhere near what she makes.
When he said 140, I'm like, mm, the math ain't math. And he flashed his phone in my face and was like, bam. You're wrong.
I feel drained. You don't trust the financial advisor you spoke to. You don't trust your husband. You don't trust yourself. What the is going on right now?
