He has a stable job, a decent salary and no kids yet. So why not take a risk while he’s still young?

That’s what one listener wants to do. He’s in his late 20s, recently married and desperate to leave his job to pursue something he actually cares about. 

The problem? His wife doesn’t want him to quit. She’s planning to leave her own job next year, and with both of them potentially without stable incomes, she says their financial security has to come first.

So who’s being unreasonable? Is marriage about supporting your partner’s dreams, even when they come with serious financial risks? Or does getting married mean some dreams have to take a back seat to shared responsibilities?

On Your Agenda, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh unpack the ultimate question: Would you quit your stable job if your spouse told you not to?
