Money, marriage, and mayhem, welcome to the most chaotic finance class you never signed up for. In this episode, we ask: Do you actually know your spouse’s salary? Who’s really paying the bills? And what’s the deal with wills, life insurance, and joint accounts? Plus, Dom gets grilled in our game show “So You Married a Financial Advisor” and (shockingly) fails acronyms like a champ.

Shoutout to our friends at The Fortis Agency for teaching us that iced coffee and Target receipts don’t count as a financial plan. Grab your latte and laugh with us—because budgeting with vibes only is still a strategy… kind of.
