Investing Relationships

Season 1

Can We Afford Therapy?

Therapy can give you a safe space to work through mental health struggles and help you develop the skills to cope with life's toughest challenges. Unfortunately, it tends to be expensive, especially if you don't have insurance. In this episode, Jeff and John discuss how you can work therapy into your life without throwing breaking the bank.

Sex & Money

Two of the most common reasons for divorce are sex and money. Both of those things are important in our relationships, so why is it so hard to talk about them? Jeff and John dive into the reasons behind why we avoid subjects we perceive as "uncomfortable", and walk us through how to tackle them head-on.

Arguing for Repair

It's easy to get stuck having the same arguments - but what if we weren't arguing with the intent to win? What if we were arguing to repair? Jeff and John break down how to approach a fight as a chance to understand each other better and break the cycle of arguing once and for all.

What Is Financial Planning?

In this week's episode, Jeff and John tackle the concept of financial planning - what is it, who is it for, and is it something you even need to be doing?

What Is Therapy & Who Is It For?

Jeff and John talk a lot about therapy, but what exactly IS therapy? In this episode, Jeff explains what therapy is, how it might look, and who can benefit (spoiler: everyone can!).

You're Not Roommates - Grow Together!

It's easy to get stuck into a routine with your partner, but it's important to remember that you're so much more than roommates! Catch this week's episode of Love & Other Investments to hear Jeff and John's tips on how to grow as a couple, rather than just grow as individuals.

Your Past Shapes Your Future

How we were raised, and specifically, how we were taught to view money, shapes the type of person, and eventually the type of parent, that we become. You and your spouse were raised differently, so how are you supposed to come together and agree on how to raise your own children - specifically when it comes to spending money on them? Listen to this week's episode of Love & Other Investments to find about what Jeff and John recommend.

Whose Job is More Important?

Different situations in life might force you to choose one partner's career over the other, and the answer might not be as simple as the bigger paycheck. In this episode, Jeff and John discuss how to honor both your careers without making one more important than the other.

Taking Care of Your Money is More Important Than Investing

Successful investing does not guarantee financial success - how you handle your money together could have a bigger impact. In this episode, Jeff and John walk through how to improve your money-handling skills so you can reach those financial goals together.

Envy

Envy, comparison, jealousy - whatever you want to call it, we've all experienced it. It can be tempting to look at other couples and want what they have... or at least what they seem to have. In this week's episode, Jeff and John discuss why it's so important for you and your spouse to build your own story, and not just steal someone else's.
