Partner Money Scripts

Money is the number one source of conflict in relationships, and it's almost always a script collision. One partner grew up in a household that saved obsessively; the other grew up where money was spent freely to enjoy life.

Neither script is wrong — but unexamined scripts breed silent resentment. The saver sees the spender as reckless; the spender sees the saver as controlling. The fix: name your scripts together, acknowledge where they came from, and build a shared money plan that honors both.
