52. He hides purchases from meand I let him

Published: July 19, 2022, 7 a.m.

b'Lisa and Jeff are in their forties and have a blended household. They had about a $300k net worth before they were awarded a $1.275M settlement in January of this year. What\\u2019s important isn\\u2019t the details of the settlement, but that they don\\u2019t know what to do with it.\\nShe doesn\\u2019t trust him\\u2014and for good reason. He opens lines of credit and makes secret purchases while also refusing to participate in financial planning, leaving Lisa to carry the burden. She\\u2019s looking for a teammate, but he\\u2019s happy to simply send her his paycheck and make jokes about their toxic dynamic.\\nThey\\u2019ve invested the windfall in a few places (yes, one of which is a bad financial advisor), but they lack a vision\\u2014and the communication to build one. Before they decide what to do with the settlement cash, they need to be honest with themselves, and with one another. That\\u2019s where I come in. Let\\u2019s see if we can bring some clarity to their situation.\\xa0\\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.
