b"Nicole and John have already won the money game. Combined, they bring in $650,000 a year. But it's not an even split. Nicole currently earns $150,000 and would like to leave her stable job to create a startup. John feels this gamble has not been discussed at length. They keep talking about \\u201chaving the conversation,\\u201d but they never do.\\nBoth complain that they\\u2019re not feeling appreciated. John yearns for acts of service from Nicole. Nicole feels like her contribution is never enough. (You will frequently hear the lower earner talk repeatedly about \\u201ccontributing\\u201d to the relationship.) Listen as this anxiety slowly bubbles to the surface.\\xa0\\nOn John's side, the growing pile of money in his bank account is making him more paranoid than ever before. He worries he could lose it all -- like what happened when he was younger. The fear runs so deep, he doesn't even believe me when I use math to demonstrate they will be more than fine for the rest of their lives.\\nOn paper, Nicole and John have a rich life, but they're not fleshing it out together because of their fears, insecurities, and lack of communication. Listen in as I nudge them towards a Rich Life.\\nConnect with Ramit\\n\\nWebsite\\n\\nInstagram\\n\\nTwitter\\n\\nFacebook\\n\\nYouTube\\n\\nLinkedin\\n\\n\\nIf you and your partner have a money issue and you want my help, I occasionally select a couple to work with, free of charge.
