“I hide my spending from my husband”
Description
Meet Chuck and Mary. With a household income of $450,000 a year, they’re wealthy, but they’re not living A Rich Life. Mary spends money--in secret -- and feels judged when she makes “frivolous” designer bag purchases. Meanwhile, Chuck feels he can’t invest in a personal trainer.
Their backstory is revealing.
Mary grew up in a large family in Argentina where a bottle of Coca-Cola was an indulgence. When she made it to the States, she never wanted to feel deprived again.
Suddenly, her spending takes on a new dimension. To her, a Chanel bag is more than just a bag.
They have the money, yet they lack a shared plan. To create a Rich Life, they’ll have to dig into each other’s money clues.
