She's making 200 grand a month.
Her parents started talking to her about investing when she was five years old.
So here we already see a difference, not just in gender, but in socioeconomic status.
And over time, that progressed.
So they come to me and she says, I want him to pay for dinner occasionally.
Fine.
Super reasonable.
He even said, no problem.
I want to.
So he would take his credit card out and he would offer to pay.
And she would say, no.
I want you to contribute more to your IRA.
So in many ways, she wanted him to pay.
She wanted to feel taken care of, which is totally reasonable.
But when he offered, she said no.
So this is the kind of thing that I often see, which is I think I want one thing, but when I get that thing, I don't actually want it.
It doesn't make me feel the way I thought it would.
I want to earn 50K more.
I think that'll make me feel safe.
Oh my God, I am earning 50K more.
