Spreadsheets are Killing Your Marriage

Stop showing your spouse your financial spreadsheets.

Technical professionals often try to 'update' their partners with jargon-heavy data. This doesn't build trust; it builds friction. Your spouse doesn't want to hear about tax-loss harvesting; they want to know the family is safe.

Discuss the 'Job,' not the 'How': Don't talk about funds. Talk about the 'Singular Job' that money is doing (e.g., 'This is our freedom fund').
Speak in S3 Principles: Use words like 'Safe,' 'Simple,' and 'Sound.' They are intuitive and build immediate alignment.
