32. “We just got married, but I’m scared to combine our income and debts”
I spoke to John and Lindsey last week, and we made progress toward fixing John’s debt problems. But there’s still a LOT of work to be done. Lindsey still won’t stop offering to pay the debt off on his behalf, and he still gets angry when we talk about the numbers in too much detail.

Show Notes
Today is part two with John + Lindsey, and progress on finding a solution that sticks for the couple is slow. Listen to how John gets riled up with rage and resentment when I ask him simple questions. I don’t think he gets it. We need a dramatic solution to pull him through this mess.
Will getting into the weeds help them interact on the same page again? Or will his past cloud John and Lindsey’s future forever?
