Are two incomes better than one?

We’re opening up about what our experience has really been like as a couple going from having two incomes to one. Obviously, this dynamic is not for everyone nor is it as easily doable in today's economy. So rather than talking about what you should/shouldn’t do to make this work, we just want to share with you where our headspace was when deciding if this dynamic was right for us. Whether you're planning a single-income transition, re-evaluating traditional expectations, or simply looking to stay on the same page with your partner through major life shifts, we hope our conversation gives a different perspective on this matter. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Why living on one income feels "crazy" right now 01:27 When the right partner can change your perspective 03:00 Getting on the same page about staying home vs. providing 05:12 What we wish we did to prepare (and why we didn't) 07:51 How Andre prepared his finances before stepping into the provider role 09:21 What providing REALLY meant for Andre 10:35 Evaluating your heart behind providing and receiving 13:01 Why ditching the 50/50 mindset makes shifting roles so much easier 15:32 How leaning into traditional roles simplified things for us 17:32 Staying home as an investment in our shared vision #marriageadvice #stayathome #lifestyle #transition #couples #healthyrelationships
