Summary

Michelle is 42, Ryan is 43. They’ve been married for 9 years and share three young children. Michelle worries about money; she always has. Ryan knows they’re in trouble, but can’t say no to their kids. On one income, spending outpaces earning—slowly draining their savings and weighing them down with dread over the future.  This episode is brought to you by: Netsuite | Get visibility to everything in your business in one place.
