Money Is Ruining Romance | The Real Cost of Love | It's All Relative

Are women becoming more “materialistic”… or just more realistic? In this episode of It’s All Relative, I unpack one of the most controversial conversations happening right now around dating, relationships, and money. Because increasingly, we’re hearing that women are becoming more selective, more financially focused, even “gold diggers”.I don’t think that’s what’s happening. I think we’re seeing the rise of something else entirely: financial compatibility.
