Ya we're not divorcing or anything that serious.  We just have total different approach to money that we have to both compromise on and work out.

For example

-  I'll still a cheap ass and afraid to spend money b/c i rather invest with any left over money I have after a paycheck from work..  I'll still make my own lunch at work and eat a cup of noodle here and there b/c i refuse to pay 15 bucks for a meal

- I consider them numbers on the screen and not money just digital numbers and treat it more like a 401k

-She will consider it as real money that can be life changing and wants to cash out as soon as possible on any small gains.

- She will go to whole foods and buy an 8 dollar asparagus and i'll freak out on the  $50 dollar wine bottles that I consider wasteful

-She considers what we both earn as community money therefore any crypto gains or losses is half hers.  She's also a lawyer so she's a bit smarter then me but I'm more outside the box creative thinking


So far I"ve been in full control of the cryptos and she feels a bit left out in terms of control of when to take profit.  It's a bit unfair to her but I feel she will panic sell and I will bag hodl till it goes to zero on certain coins


Ever since I sold 20 percent of my holdings in todays market things improved between me and her.  She felt more relax now and less bossy,  We can pay our taxes even if the market tanks more and have some left over. But this required me to off load half of my eth and bitcoin Sad
