Everybody needs money, particularly women. We don't think that it's our domain. because we've been told it's not, he'll take care of it.

Like, did we miss the sign in the front? This is going to be like a, you know, and the waitress will say, no, no, madam, you should not have to worry about such things. And I said, it can't escape me. This follows me everywhere. And I make more in my relationship. So I had to have a good laugh about that because it's like, really, I don't have to worry about money? It's all I do.

Yes, I agree with you. Money is power. The complexity arrives when you're in a relationship and you think that my power means I have power over you as opposed to I have power to heal, to support.

But when you're in the context of a relationship, it's about how to sort of dance with money, you know, and not be sizing each other up based on what you earn. This happens all the time.

And I know there are some risks and I know there's uncertainty down the road, but I have money. I have not just money, but I have financial autonomy. This is what being truly wealthy is. It's being able to Understand that the world's a scary place. Yes, money does not solve all of the problems, but money does give us a runway. It gives us resources.
