About this episode

Welcome back to Money Confessions, a weekly series where you tell us your deepest, darkest money secrets or hot takes. You're joined by Sim and Sonya, two best friends who have *a lot* to say.


This week, Sim and Sonya discuss a listener's confession about feeling insecure after learning about their boyfriend's higher salary. They emphasise the importance of not equating one's worth to their income and suggest that open communication with the partner is crucial to addressing such feelings. They also mention the insights of relationship coach Sadia Khan and encourage self-reflection as a starting point for dealing with insecurities related to financial differences in relationships.
