Agnes and Ryan open with Agnes's trip to Las Vegas and Arizona in the desert heat, including the Skywalk, then answer two viewer questions. One is about a saver whose girlfriend has credit card debt as they plan to move in together, the other about a girlfriend dealing with her boyfriend's parents' interference. Agnes advises settling money roles before moving in and setting kind boundaries with in-laws.
Takeaways
- Settle money expectations and each partner's contribution before moving in together, because both partners need to contribute in some form.
- When parents offer opinions, thank them for their experience and say what you plan to do instead of asking permission.
- Adult children must be allowed to make their own mistakes, and parents can be there to catch them without taking over.
