6: Competitiveness in Relationships

Julien and Kiersten Saunders (@richandregular) explore the healthy and unhealthy ways people compete in relationships — and not just the romantic ones! Whether it’s a desire to ‘out-gift’ your partner, or a race to ‘out-earn’ your colleagues, competition in relationships can have both positive and negative effects on your financial goals. 

In this episode, we discuss: 

• Ways competition might show up in relationships
• A study that suggests friendly competition is a way to “spice things up”
• The social shifts in becoming a breadwinner and the pressures associated with being one
• How to manage a competitive spirit without ruining relationships
