“We have $4,600 in credit card debt but we spend $600/month on GrubHub”

Ramit Sethi of I Will Teach You To Be Rich talks to Jennifer and Andrew who are in their 30s with 2 kids. They have been married for 11 years, but they speak different languages when it comes to money, deeply stuck in scripts from contrasting family backgrounds. Can they learn to come together in joy for the sake of their family?
