We spent our entire salary for a year on angel investing (how it went)

Alex is in the hot seat as we discuss some of the tensions that have come up in our relationship as we angel invest our money in tech startups. Listen in as we talk about angel investing, managing our money as a couple and discuss our differences around real estate (rent vs buy), and frugality.
We talked about unrecoverable costs in this episode when it comes to real estate (rent vs buy). We realized when re-watching this that we didn't do a great job at breaking down what these costs are exactly, so here is the CZcams video we referenced: • Renting vs. Buying a H...

Rent vs Buy + Invest vs Save-Which side are you on?

[@literatemonk]

You guys are so right about renting vs buying. I have wasted so much money and time fighting Austin on just living in a complete dump and sinking all my money into it

[@efficientapp]

Oh my gosh... I think we officially know who this is now 🫶😂😂😂

[@bobDotJS]

6:50 we all lost a lot more than $20 on BBY 😂
Excellent episode. That stuff about resentment is real, im glad you both take it seriously.

[@efficientapp]

Haha yeah, BBRY (now BB) was not a great one-I mean hey, had you held it for 10 years you'd only be down about 20%! 😅
And it's so helpful being hyper aware of the feeling (having both felt it at the deepest level in the past), and being able to verbalize it when there's any inkling of it. I wonder how many relationships end due to resentment building and never being communicated until it's too late. I'd be willing to bet it's probably most.

[@guieut]

Once again you guys nailed it! It's amazing to hear how well you're able to communicate and work as a team in all regards.
Thank you for your willingness to put it all in the open and share so much of your relationship with us in a way that feels totally natural.

[@efficientapp]

So much appreciate you Thomas! We so appreciate you listening! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
