Sometimes being nosey pays off. Other times, it reveals that your partner hasn’t paid off their $40k credit card debt.
Stressy and a little scandalous, this week’s episode of Friday Drinks covers a Money Dilemma about whether a listener should use their reno savings to help pay off her partner’s business debt. All $140,000 of it.
And, is debt worse if it’s a secret? This week’s DM comes from a listener who stumbled across something they wish they hadn’t… their boyfriend’s secret $40k credit card debt. We tackle the question of confronting a partner when they’ve hidden something from you.
Whether you’ve done the snooping or you’re the one in debt, this episode is all about tackling financial hurdles as a couple, one conversation at a time.
