Yes. We have checkins to make sure but we constantly communicate and ask each other if either of us want to do something outside of our budgets. Wouldn’t have gotten married to her otherwise.

that's great!

No. It's quite challenging

Not always. We're a lot better about that now though.

It's easier said than done. There's always a disconnect between my spouse and I because I earn more and they're constantly comparing themselves to me. I wish they would just know I don't care about that and I just want us to be financially secure.

Making a lot of money relative to the average but feeling poor? Median after-tax income was ~$55,000 in 1981 and was ~$73,000 in 2020. Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?
