It is very unlikely that you've grown up in the exact same way.

And so you, again, might have come from an immigrant background.

You have frugal parents and you've learned to be really frugal.

But then also you might have grown up with a family that had a lot of money and then lost it all.

And therefore you're like extremely frugal and you're always scared.

And no matter how much you have, you always have that scarcity mindset.

On the other hand, you might have had a partner that also had really frugal parents, but because they always get told like, no, no, no, no, no.

Now they have adult money and they're like, nice.

Like I can spend what I want.

Like no one can stop me.

And so they really are like kind of making up for lost time.

And I always say that money and your relationships with money and your partner's relationship with money is very similar.

to what happens when you look at like eating habits between partners and look at their family's eating habits.

Like I have found that my husband's family, when I go over, their love language is to give you a soda can.

You all turn up and they'll be like, ginger beer, Sprite, Coke, what do you want?

And I'll be like, just a water.

And they'll be like, no.

They just love to show care through giving you like something in your hand to drink.

And on the flip side, my family is very similar.

If you turn up, they will give you something to eat.
