Adam Kol, The Couples Financial Coach Quoted by Yahoo Finance!
I'm thrilled to have been quoted extensively on Yahoo Finance!
Here’s a tip I shared for dealing with income inequality in relationships:
“3. Avoid Assumptions
You might think you know why your significant other is uncomfortable with the income inequality in your relationship, but you could be totally wrong. Kol said to avoid making assumptions and talk openly about the issue instead.
‘For example, sometimes the lower earner feels uncomfortable being supported,’ he said. ‘Listen, ask questions and focus on understanding your partner better.’
Taking this route can help avoid hurt feelings, because knowing exactly why your partner is uneasy about the pay gap will allow you to modify your behaviors accordingly."
Do you think this would be effective? What other strategies have you tried? 🤔
I would love to hear from you on my social media channels!
