this really resonated, thank you for sharing it so simply. i do believe there is always a cost to putting off a conversation, especially in our relationships. i also very much agree a woman should always have her own money, and it doesn't always need to mean leaving the house to make it or that your relationship is doomed to fail. from my perspective, it's being realistic and another way of taking care of myself.
This reminded me of Sheryl Sandberg saying the most important career choice is who you marry. It feels connected to what you said about who you marry being a financial decision, both come down to having a 50/50 partner who shares the load.
Question four is where the pension gap in section 3 actually gets built. A career break rarely shows up as a fight about bills. It shows up thirty years later as a smaller pot. One UK detail that helps: a partner with no earnings can still pay into a personal pension and get basic-rate relief on up to £3,600 gross a year. Small, but it keeps the compounding running while the salary isn't.
Very helpful

They should teach this in high school along with financial literacy!
