67. We spend $3,000/month on groceries for our 5 kids, and its ruining us

Published: Nov. 1, 2022, 7 a.m.

b'Jim and Kasey are 45 and 41 with 5 young kids. They\\u2019ve been married for 18 years. But they admit that they don\\u2019t even know how they\\u2019ve made it this long with the serious communication problems in their relationship\\u2014specifically as they relate to money.\\nKasey goes about her life avoiding money, mostly unaware that they\\u2019re dipping into their savings each month to get by\\u2014even though Jim got a big raise recently. On the other hand, Jim knows the truth in their numbers but bottles up his emotions. When he tries to talk with Kasey about money, he does it in a way that Kasey can\\u2019t\\u2014or refuses to\\u2014grasp.\\nIn a few months, they won\\u2019t have any savings left. There\\u2019s too much at stake for them to continue on this destructive path. Let\\u2019s see if we can get them on the same page.\\xa0\\nConnect with Ramit\\n\\nConscious spending plan\\xa0\\n\\nGet the follow up\\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.
