191. “My wife doesn’t respect me because she earns 5x more”

Dillon (30) and Carrie (29) are navigating a tricky dynamic in their relationship: income disparity. Carrie works in tech, earning a high salary, but her anxiety about money has her constantly second-guessing their financial situation. Dillon, a PhD student living on a $40K annual stipend, is growing increasingly frustrated with Carrie's dismissive comments and her inability to see their combined income as a strength. Can Carrie improve her money psychology so they can live a happier, rich life together?
