Nicole makes $33,000 a month while her partner makes $3,500, and the income gap is freezing their plans for kids and creating tension over when the lower earner's income will grow.
About 33,000 per month.
About 3,500 per month.
Nicole makes 33,000amonth, and he makes 3,500amonth, but she makes about 10 times what he makes.
Do you have a plan as to how you're going to increase 3,300amonth? Yeah, I mean, I'm putting in more work as far as producing more content, trying to generate more leads, talk to more people. Great. What's the deadline?
So you don't have a deadline.
That's. No, that's fair. You think that this is a major source of contention in this relationship?
I think so. I think it's not knowing when we can really start planning for kids.
Nicole is saying she. She's alarmed that Jordan didn't really consider his debt a problem. That's a different way of looking at money that goes beyond Jordan. She's also saying that indecision is a problem for her. Another typical class difference in planning. You know, socioeconomic systems in class are things we rarely talk about. And when I got my master's degree in sociology from Stanford, I never thought I would be talking with couple in this format. So if you are curious to learn about some of the class dynamics that I refer to, a great place to start is this book called the Power of the Past.
