He makes more. i save more. guess who has a backup plan?
He earns $30k more than me.
You’d think that means he’s the one with a safety net, right?
Nope. He spends like the money will never stop. $300 bar tabs, sneakers he wears twice, last-minute flights to see friends — always “just one more weekend.”
I, on the other hand, built a savings buffer, a Roth IRA, and a side fund labeled “Plan B.” He laughs when I call it that.
But the truth is, I’m tired of pretending his lifestyle is ours. It’s his — and if it collapses, I’m not going down with it.
I don’t want to leave. I want leverage. And that means money.
So yeah, I’ll skip the concert. I’ll pack my lunch. I’ll transfer another $100 to the account he doesn’t know exists.
Because love is one thing. Liquidity is another.
