The Money Conversations Most Couples Avoid

For one of us, money talk was about surviving — getting through the week, the month — not investing or building something long-term. For the other, the tools existed but the culture of investing didn't. Between us, we didn't know what a 401(k) or a Roth IRA really was until recently. Then we got together and started having the money conversations most couples avoid — what we each grew up believing about money, our debt, and where we actually wanted our future to go. In this video we share exactly where we are right now: paying down $68K in student loans, investing every month even on a PhD stipend, and figuring out how two people from completely different backgrounds build real financial freedom together. We're not financial experts — just two people building a life through a lot of honest conversations and a few spreadsheets. Please do your own research or talk to a professional before making financial decisions. #blackwealth #investing #401k #buildingwealth #interculturalmarriage #coastfire #financialfreedom
