35. “If we can’t stop fighting about money, we’re going to break up”

35. “If we can’t stop fighting about money, we’re going to break up”

Ashley and Josh have come to a stark conclusion: That if they can’t manage to find some common ground in their financial struggles, their relationship has no future. They both earn roughly the same amount of money. Besides this huge roadblock, they see a path to marriage and children. But they can’t come to an agreement about who pays for date night. Even worse, individually, neither of them has a solid plan for tackling their own debt. Josh drives a, you guessed it, truck he can’t afford. Ashley leases a Mercedes. Both acknowledge the massive strain that having debt places on them and their relationship, and yet they do nothing about it. Are they willing to make the lifestyle changes necessary to turn their financial future around? Let’s find out.
