28. “What if we divorce and I end up homeless like my mom?”

Most people think if they earned 25-50% more, all their money problems would disappear. 

Katie and Shawn are a living example that that’s not true. 

They earn almost half a million dollars per year, so there is no reason they should be arguing over a $600 Roomba. Their world is not in sync with their income. 

So why does Katie obsessively penny-pinch and prepare for the worst? Let’s just say it has nothing to do with wanting to retire early. Listen as I unearth her deep-rooted fears.
