The Math Truth Nobody Tells High Earning Couples About Money
Two incomes should equal more wealth.
And research shows it does...
But only when done right.
Here's what the data reveals...
Single Person:
→ One income, one set of expenses
→ Clear decisions, steady progress
→ Median net worth at 25-34: ~$7,000*
Married Couple:
→ Two incomes, shared expenses
→ Couples aged 25-34 have 9x the net worth of singles
→ Median net worth at 25-34: $68,210 vs $7,341 for singles
But here's the challenge:
45% of couples argue about money at least occasionally...
And financial problems contribute to 20-40% of divorces...
So what's the difference between struggling couples and wealthy ones?
Financial alignment.
Married couples benefit from economies of scale, shared housing costs, and aligned savings goals.
But without proper communication and systems, these advantages disappear.
The research is clear:
The wealth gap between married and single households has more than doubled in the last decade.
Couples who align their finances don't just stay together longer.
They also build extraordinary wealth together.
While 63% of marriages start in debt...
2,175 couples have used our system to transform their finances AND their relationships for the better.

You may see that stuff above.
But the truth is, we're nobody special.
Just a husband and wife from Kentucky who figured out something important:
Building wealth as partners isn't about being perfect. It's about getting on the same page and following a system that works together.
And the way we figured that out? It nearly broke us first.
2015: We were newlyweds drowning in $304k of debt. I made $50k working 80-hour weeks at Deloitte. Erin ate dinner alone most nights while I chased a career that was killing our marriage. We fought about everything - especially money.
2016: Rock bottom. The "kitchen table moment" that saved us. Erin asked through tears: "Is this the life we're building together?" That night, we laid out every debt, every expense, every dream. Created our first budget as a team. Discovered we were spending $1,847/month on... nothing. Things neither of us even wanted.
2017: Finally aligned as partners. I passed my CPA exam (after Erin supported me through 3 failures). She managed our budget while I
focused on increasing income. We invested our first $125 together. Small win, but it was OURS.
2019: Launched Budgetdog as a team from a church stoop (while we both worked side jobs). Erin edited every post. I handled the numbers. Our first follower was her mom. We were investing every spare dollar - together.
2022: Hit $1 million net worth at age 30 - as equals. Quit my job and paid off our house the same week. Then Logan's seizure changed everything. But facing that crisis with aligned finances meant we could focus on her, not money.
2023: Both left our 9-5s. Moved to Texas for Logan's care. While living in hospitals, we ran the business together. Our shared system meant money wasn't added stress during the worst time of our lives.
Today: $4,125,727.93 built together. Two daughters who see parents as partners. Monthly "money dates" that take 30 minutes. No fights, just dreams we're building as a team.
The system we discovered through trial and error has now helped 2,175 couples stop fighting and start building. They've united their finances, strengthened their relationships, and created their own "millionaire couple timelines."
(Results vary by couple. Some align quickly, others take time. But every couple who commits together sees progress.)
We're not promising you'll match our results. Every relationship is different. Markets change.
But what we ARE promising:
In 60 minutes, you'll both learn exactly how to build wealth as a team. How to turn money fights into money dates. How to make two incomes work together instead of against each other.
Because if a couple who couldn't even talk about money without fighting can build $4,125,727.93 together...
What could YOU accomplish as partners?
Still skeptical? Good. One of you should be. That's why this workshop is free.
Come see if what we teach works for YOUR relationship.
No pressure, no gimmicks, just proven systems that turn couples into wealth-building teams.
What Others Are Saying
We could tell you this system works and leave it at that.
But we'd rather show you what 2,175 couples have already discovered:
*Results vary based on income, consistency, and market conditions. These are real students sharing their actual experiences.
Now Here's The Funny Thing About Following "Smart" Advice...
At 23, I just finished my CPA...
Secured a cushy job at Deloitte...
And officially "made it" with a six figure salary.
But because of "smart" advice:
- "You can afford the payments" (took on $22k in car loans)
- "Invest in your education" (kept
$40k in student loans)
- "She deserves the best" (financed wedding ring for $10k)
- "Great sleep is priceless" (Put a $3.5k bed on my card)
- "Real estate always goes up" (bought a $228k house)
We were drowning in $304,000 of debt.
It didn't matter that we had degrees.
Or that I was seeing my boss more than my wife.
We were "falling behind" faster than we were getting ahead.
And when Erin asked me...
"If we make such good money, why can't we afford to start a family?"
It felt like a knife in my stomach.
At this rate, we'd never be able to give our children a good life...
So we sat down and planned our escape together...
We focused on making it so simple, it'd be almost impossible to fail:
- One budget tracking every dollar
- Simple index funds for investing
- Three accounts to automate it all
- 30 minutes per month to manage
The strategy was supposed to make us millionaires in 15 years...
But things didn't go according to plan...
Because we had a proven system, we made:
$320k by age 26
$650k by age 28
$1M by age 30
And today...
This is our net worth:
Because of that, we only work when we want...
We get to spend every day with our daughters...
And we've helped 2,175 other families fix their finances using the same system.
If you want to do the same, we're revealing everything we know for FREE on this event.
Because we believe EVERY couple deserves to live "the good life"...

Here's Why You Can't Afford To Wait Until "You're Ready"
You know what nobody tells you about compound interest?
It's ruthless.
Every month you wait is a month you can't get back. Not maybe. Not theoretically. Real time lost.
Here's what the math looks like:
If a couple invests $1,000/month for 30 years (assuming historical 8% returns):
- Starting at 30: Could reach $1.36 million by 60
- Starting at 35: Could reach $838,000 by 60
- Starting at 40: Could reach $494,000 by 60
Based on historical market averages. Actual returns vary. Investing involves risk of loss.
Those 10 years of "I'll start next year"?
In this example, that's a potential difference of $866,000.
The market doesn't wait for perfect timing.
There's no "ready" moment.
There's only time—and what you do with it.
On July 8th at 8:00 PM EST, we'll show you exactly how we got started. The same proven system we still use today. Nothing fancy. Nothing complicated.
The workshop is free.
The educational tools are free.
What you do with the information is up to you.
THE TWO TYPES OF COUPLES
I've taught over 2,175 couples to date, and they all fall into two camps:
TYPE 1: The "Someday" Couples
- Still reading the same investing books from the '90s
- Have 47 browser tabs open about "passive income"
- Know their Netflix password but not their 401k login
- Tell themselves "next year" every January
- Keep paying advisors to lose their money
- Say things like "the market is too risky right now"
Their future: Working through their 60s, worried about their kids' inheritance being debt
TYPE 2: The "System" Couples
- Spend one Tuesday setting up everything
- Automate their finances and forget about it
- Check accounts monthly, not daily
- Invest the consistently regardless of headlines
- Know exactly when they'll hit $1 million
- Actually enjoy their money while building wealth
Their future: Optional work by 50, kids set up for life
Here's what's interesting...
The ONLY difference between them is one decision:
Whether to learn the system or keep hoping things magically improve.
Both types make good money.
Both want financial freedom.
Both love their families.
But only TYPE 2 does something about it.
Last month, I met a couple who'd been "meaning to invest" for 11 years.
They calculated what that procrastination cost them:
$847,000 in compound growth (using my cost of inaction calculator)
Don't let that be your story.
The workshop is on July 8th at 8:00 PM EST.
I'm capping it at 1,000 couples because my Zoom literally can't handle more live attendees...
(learned that the hard way last time when we crashed at 1,417).
Plus, I answer questions live. Can't do that with 10,000 people.
If you're ready to stop being a "Someday" couple and start being a "System" couple...
This is your moment.
