Have you ever considered how love could influence your financial stability? Join us as we unravel the connection between emotions and economics, this applies to EVERYONE. We promise you'll walk away with a new perspective on how open communication and shared responsibility in relationships can transform money management into a collaborative journey. Money issues are often cited as a leading cause of divorce, but by focusing on teamwork and establishing objectives together, couples can align their financial goals and strengthen their bonds.
Building trust requires honest and sometimes uncomfortable conversations, especially when relationships intertwine with business. Your Neighborhood Finance BRO’s, Anton Leftwich & Michel Dupoux will explore the courage it takes to acknowledge each other's imperfections, and how honesty coupled with transparency can prevent misunderstandings. Imagine connecting with your partner as seamlessly as a Bluetooth device, where mutual understanding grows stronger with time and effort. By sharing aspirations and supporting each other's dreams, partners can set realistic expectations that foster a supportive and embarrassment-free environment.
Love isn't just a feeling—it's a commitment that often demands tangible sacrifices, like working extra hours or prioritizing essentials over luxuries. Our discussion highlights the idea that TRUE love can provide the mental, emotional, and spiritual support needed to navigate financial pressures and build resilience. We also share a humorous touch with a t-shirt slogan that playfully illustrates how love, much like credit, is boundless yet priceless. As we wrap up, we share our gratitude for our audience's unwavering support, and give reference to a classic musical, where calm meets intensity in a way that captivates and energizes.

Uh-oh so this is going to bepart one, because this is a big
topic, but, by the way, thisalso, mike, this reminds me of a
song.
What song is that?
Hey, y'all check this out realquick, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, you must understand the touch of your
hand makes my pulse react thatit's only the thrill of boy

It's physical, only logical,only logical.
(03:05):
You must try to ignore that.
It means more than that.
What's love, got to do, got todo it.
What's love, but a second-handemotion.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What's love Got to do , got to do it.
Who needs a heart when a heartcan be?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
broken.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yes, yes, we're talking about love and your
finances, mike.
All right, two things thatmight seem, you know, like
they're maybe even worlds apartfor some people, but they're
actually more connected than weall might think.
All right, when two people arereally in love and they want to
be together, I mean, thingsstart out great, don't?
Yeah, always got that that.
We call it the honeymoon phase.
All right.
(03:50):
But what happens when life hits?
No, oh, all right it's a wrap.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It's almost a wrap most of the time for real.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I mean we, we all, we all come together.
I mean there's this, there'sthis, it's like this there's
fire burning at first, right,and you, just you, you, you.
So they call it blinded by love, right.
Right, cause you're so, in love, you don't see no red flags,
you just cause.
You want to believe, right,right.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We all want something to believe in, we all want to
feel like we're right and theysay the statistics do say.
That's one thing we can mention.
What's the number one reasonfor divorce?
Money.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Dope, nope, we got to say that one Yup.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That we can't sugarcoat, right right, we can't
sugarcoat it.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But we here at.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
FBM we're going to help them out, right, of course,
mike, absolutely, absolutely.
But we here at FBM, we're goingto help them out, right, of
course, mike, absolutely,absolutely.
So we're going to give you theniceties on this one.
All right, in this first part.
In part two, obviously, mike,you know we got to get real.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Oh, man, anton, you mean, you know that song, it
brings me back, brother, itbrings me back.
But we're going to keep itpositive, as we usually do with
finance bro network, for, uh,for this episode, for this
episode, like you said, anton,and then we're gonna put a spin
on it for the next episode, forpart two.
So, you know, finance brosnetwork, we're trying to keep it
(05:16):
positive at all times, but wehave to be realistic.
Realistic too, yep, but gettinginto getting and getting into
it.
Love plays a huge role in how wemanage our money, especially if
you're a low income individualor family.
(05:36):
Yep, so today we're going tobreak it down, the way that love
impacts your financial life,whether that's in a relationship
, family or even love foryourself, say that, brother.
So, sharing financialresponsibility, love often means
teamwork.
If you're in a relationship orhave a family, you're likely to
(06:00):
share household expenses, sobudgeting together becomes
essential.
Yep, you've got to communicateand make sure everyone on is on
the same page about what'scoming in and what's going out.
Man, brother, say that, man,and I guess that that's the kind
, that's the kind of the answerto what love got to do with it
financially, right that's what'sup?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I know mike look and they look like.
Like we said, we're keeping itnice for this episode, but
mentally, you know, we alwaysgot to encourage open
conversations.
That's one thing very, very keyopen, open lines of
communication at all times youknow what?
I'm saying we want to create asafe space for each other, you
know, as as as men and womengoing into relationships, you
(06:45):
know I can only really come toyou, mike, with the things I
feel led and comfortable to cometo you with.
You know I'm saying sometimesthis does warrant a lot of
uncomfortable conversations.
Yes, sir, you know what I mean.
You got to be willing to haveuncomfortable conversations, you
know, and it's especially, yeah, and friendships, of course,
but especially in a marriage, ina relationship, absolutely all
right, and if you don't feel led, you don't feel safe to come to
(07:08):
that person.
You're just Especially, yeah,in friendships, of course, but
especially in a marriage, in arelationship, absolutely, and if
you don't feel led, you don'tfeel safe to come to that person
, you're just not going to do itFor whatever that reason might
be.
So we want to create that safespace for our partners and
mentally, like I said, encouragethose open conversations.
Money, money, money should helpcreate a space where you can
talk about that openly.
Or the foundation that wecreate within our relationship
(07:29):
should give us the open lane tocome and talk about money.
It shouldn't be like an awkwardconversation.
Even if it's uncomfortable,you're still going to come with
it anyway, because as soon as weget it out we're going to feel
a lot better about whatever itis we're trying to go for.
So when the course in bothpartners or family members man,
talk about family bro, all right, those are people that can cut
(07:52):
us the deepest.
We always open our hearts forfamily and unfortunately we get
hurt a lot.
We love them, but they cut usdeep too, for real brother.
So we just got to remember that, keep.
But they cut us deep too, forreal brother.
So we just got to remember that.
Keep it honest, keep it openand with no judgment, right,
right, makes it easier to facechallenges together and plan
better.
Of course, of course, of course,clear communication goes a long
(08:13):
way in reducing financialconflicts, and when you have
someone to lean on mentally, itcan change how you approach your
financial situation, right,instead of carrying all the
stress by yourself and you know,I mean you share the load with
each other, right?
You know, I'm saying I mean usas us, as men I mean I could
speak from a male side of things.
We always carry so much on ourshoulders where we buy me for
(08:36):
the most, really, we don't evenreally want to talk about it a
lot of times.
You know what I mean, right,because it's just it's going on
in our head and we're trying towork out the situation.
This is, this is something youknow, some, some of you ladies
out there Sometimes, us men, weget quiet and we shut down.
Yeah, we're trying to work outthe problem in our head, right,
so that when we, when it comesout, we come out with solutions.
(08:57):
Right, it doesn't come off ascomplaining or us feeling like
we're stuck.
We come with Look, this is howwe gonna go forward.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And I wanna add to that like, even when you have a
lot of single mothers out therewho are considered head of
household on your taxes.
You gotta put it you're head ofhousehold For sure.
And what we can say is justdon't come at it on a mental
state, don't come at itemotionally.
If you got kids or if you gotkids old enough, come at it in a
(09:26):
way where it's not veryemotional so that person can
understand what is the real.
You know a black and white ofthe situation.
What's the real finance?
And you might be surprised notcoming at that person in the
family member emotionally.
You might get that supportwhere you need the support, even
if it's not financially.
But you're out there.
(09:46):
You got two, three jobs andthat child minds like, ooh,
mommy's working hard and she,she spoke about it.
Let me make sure food is ready.
Let me make sure the house isclean.
Last thing, let me do thelaundry all those things Again.
That's where that love that wetalk about you know what love
got to do with it.
That's where it's at when itcomes to that financial scenario
(10:09):
that you're dealing with.
That's stressing you, yeah,yeah, and that you want to take
it away.
You want to take some stressaway, and you'd be surprised how
much young men and womenunderstand that, Because they're
with you all day.
So they'll understand like, Ooh, I can't.
I can't be stressing my mom ordad, Cause there are single dads
(10:30):
out there too.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Even though guys hold it in more and we more we got
this, we got this.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'm tough, right, right.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
But, but you know, if you have that conversation with
them you'll see things might bea lot better, because there is
that love there, absolutely.
I love that brother.
It's deep man, yep, yep.
And I also believe thatgratitude for the little thing
goes a long way.
That's what I was just talkingabout.
(10:59):
Love teaches us to appreciatethe simple joys even when money
is tight, whether it's ahome-cooked meal.
Remember, I was saying, doingthose little things, spending
time with loved ones, or justknowing some someone cares about
you, loves, help you findcontentment beyond material
(11:22):
things.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
100, brother, you know I also have to say if you
really in love mike, this doeshelp you shift your perspective
definitely from what you don'thave to what you do have.
I'm saying, like we said alittle bit ago, looking for the
good, you know, I mean, even inthe hardest financial times,
love gives us that spiritualboost to keep going and stay
(11:43):
focused on what matters the most, right.
I mean again, I guess we'reanswering the.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I guess we're answering the question you know
saying what's love got to dowith it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So look in in doing this, when that, when that, when
that foundation is solid, right?
This is why, man brother, thisis why going into a relationship
at the beginning is soimportant for us.
To be transparent, right.
Everything ain't bro, come on,man, you, we, we know we're
people at the end of the day, ofcourse.
(12:12):
So I know this woman in frontof me is not gonna be perfect in
any in every way, and if shehas, you know, if she I'm sure
she got her head on straight sheknow I'm not gonna be perfect
in every single way you knowwhat I'm saying let's get it out
, let's talk about itrespectfully.
You know I'm saying and let's,let's talk about the thing, the
areas where we may be working on, where we may be weak, like
like.
Okay, in business.
(12:32):
You know my significant other,we're in business together.
We own a company, okay, right?
So I know the things that thatshe has maybe a challenges with
and she knows the things that Ihave challenges with.
But because there's love there,because there's that foundation
there, we already picking upeach other before go, that's
what's up.
You know what I'm saying it'snot even it, really not even you
(12:54):
kind of just start to, youstart to have this uh, oh,
what's what?
Uh.
One of our agents said we got,we got the, we got the, uh, the
bluetooth oh really, yeah, yeah,i'all got that connection.
Yeah, yeah, yeah you alreadyknow what's going on before she
got to come out.
Yeah, with it, and you are.
She already know what's goingon before you got to come out
with it, right?
So there's this, there's thisin sync thing going on now.
(13:16):
It took us years to get there.
I got.
You know there's a lot of,there was a lot of, you know,
uncomfortable conversations toget there.
But I will say, man, you know,with it there was never a fear
of having them, especially onher part.
You know I'm saying she, shewelcomes uncomfortable
conversations, you know, and I Ilove that and I respect that
about her, you know.
And, by the way, it made iteasier for me to challenge
(13:38):
myself, to have thoseuncomfortable conversations.
You know, I'm saying ifsomeone's bothering me, just
come out with it, right, youknow what I mean.
And if and and at the same time, if someone's bothering me and
I'm still working it out, I'lljust let it be known.
Look, you know, got a lot on mymind right now, but I'm working
it out and I'm here with you,I'm holding your hand right.
I say this, I say this thing toher, I say, baby, I'm holding
(14:01):
your hand, right, you know, I'msaying, and I just, I just let
it be known that if, if I seem alittle quiet, I'm still with
you.
So there's these check enginelights.
You know, I'm saying that cancome on.
And I know, you know, just in,in being so close to my mom
being my hero, you know, I'msaying I, I know that, for she
(14:23):
just needs to know that I'm good, right, right, you know what
I'm saying.
And I and I know this can betrue with a lot of females Like
they want to make, they wantwhatever is going on underneath
the, underneath the closets andbehind, underneath the blankets,
behind the closed doors, andjust look, just let me know If
you let me know what it is Right.
I'll hide the, it's straight up.
(14:46):
So I mean, some women love,because women love hard, bro, I
know, especially like I know,like mine loves me.
No, we obviously speaking ofthe analogy.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Right, right, right.
I was like yo, you just coppedto a murder.
Yeah, don't go don't go out.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You can't come to a 187 brother I'm making a very
strong analogy about love, okayand so I just come to a one
eight set.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Bro, we could have done that off the mic.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You know what I'm saying killing nobody man, okay
but I'm saying, man, they lovealmost to a fault.
Man, if we just be honest withthem, bro, we just let them know
what it is, bro, right, youknow?
I'm saying don't, don't, don't,let them, don't, let them hear
what's going on from somebodyelse let them hear from you, bro
.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know I'm saying don't, don't have them hear
what's going on from somebodyelse.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Let them hear from you, bro.
You know I'm saying don't,don't have them being
embarrassed at no parties youknow right right, right right
right like let it because,because they'll be the first one
to defend you, they'll be thefirst line of defense, you know
I'm saying but you gotta letthem know, right.
Hey say, babe, before we go inhere, you know the play, I got
the play.
Baby boom, we good yep.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
And that works the same way with the finance,
exactly because if she, if yousee, or if she sees let's say
she sees a bugatti, that's30,000.
Now, baby, I want that one day.
Now she ain't gonna be like,come on now, like you ain't
telling me that you want abugatti where we ain't got that,
(16:06):
that's a car that's a car yeah,we, we can't put a car on your
arms right now, baby, we likeand so let's say, there's that
communication it's like.
I really love that bad.
You know, when we become, whenwe become multi-millionaire,
that's something I would like.
I'll make sure you got one foreach foot.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You can skate around town if you want to every
different color of bugattis.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
You could, you could have for real.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Brother, baby, I'll get you one in every color.
You ain't got to worry aboutnothing.
You hear me and look, and thisis mike.
This is now.
Look.
Ladies and gentlemen,wealthians, we are making these
statements and we are talkingabout this subject with respect
to a couple of things that webelieve are already in place.
(16:55):
We're assuming a couple ofthings.
Ok, we're assuming there'strust in the relationship.
Ok, we're assuming there'srespect in the relationship.
We're assuming there's respectin the relationship.
Okay, we're assuming that youknow what I'm saying.
You guys are faithful to eachother and doing the right things
behind closed doors thatwarrant the type of respect and
love you can come to expect fromone another.
(17:16):
Okay, if it's janky stuff goingon, it's found.
It's going on like this already.
We already know what's going onout there in the world.
It's Mike.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
It's hard enough to get, to find a good person, to
get into a relationship and trueto form to the beginning of the
show.
Bro.
What love got to do it, becauseeven tither turn it and said
it's a secondhand emotion, suredid.
It's like you touching eachother, we feeling each other oh
it feels great, but but is thattruly?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
love that truly love, for real bro.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
So so, because when it is truly love, then then we
put all these scenarios in frontof it.
Yes, yes, that you communicateand you work it now, especially
when it comes to finance.
It's not gonna cost your armand leg to be together man
brother, it's already going tobe understood, understood.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
If we going out for a burger, we still spending time
together.
If it's a $300 steak, it'sstill the time together.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's the important thing Exactly, you know what I
mean.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So, whether you rich and you got everything, or you
know what I'm saying, our UPIs,we underprivileged and we have
dang near nothing, right, but wehave this love and we have each
other.
No-transcript, life is alreadygoing to be hard enough.
(18:57):
It's already going to be hardenough to get this money.
Yeah, already going to be hardenough.
So, so, having that person andwe on the same page, like he was
saying, mike, at all times, andeverything we doing, especially
about what's going in, what'scoming in, what's going out,
right, bro, we unstoppable,exactly, we invincible.
(19:18):
You know what I'm saying.
You look at your girl, man,babe, I got you.
She looking at you like, babe,I got you.
And you know when she say youfeel that I got you.
and you know, bro, when she saidyou feel that, bro, I got
chills on my arms, right now browhen she say that you feel that
and, by the way, so cold towhere she ain't even gotta say
it you saying it for her exactlyyou know I'm saying I know you
(19:39):
got me baby.
Yeah, I know you got straightup, brother.
There you go.
That's what's up, man.
So, like mike, look we're gonnaget into the breakdown, yep.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Let's get into the breakdown, so let's hit them
with the literal.
The literal is makingsacrifices.
Sometimes love means givingsomething up so you, so your
partner or family, can have whatthey need.
This could mean prioritizingbills over personal spending or
(20:10):
working extra hours to supportyour family.
These are sacrifices that maybe tough, but they are done out
of love.
Amen, brother, they are doneout of love, feel that man.
So that's the scenario right nowyou, whoever the head of
(20:32):
household or whoever's doingwhat they got to do.
The literal is you're actuallyout there working.
You're actually out there doingthis stuff because you have
that love for all the stuff wejust spoke about, that person
that got you, the person who has, because you guys got something
together, you planning ittogether, you're going to make
it happen together.
So you have no problem goingout there doing what you got to
(20:55):
do.
Working that over time, workingextra hours, can't stop the
hustle, but I absolutely can'tstop the hustle.
And that's going to help.
That love is going to help youcontinue to hustle, because you
both got a goal.
You're both moving on the samepath of that goal.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You ain't got no problem waking up 4.35 in the
morning, there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Love it, man, yep.
And then let's hit them withthe mental.
The mental is emotional support.
Reduce financial stress.
When you're in a relationshipor have a family, love often
gives you emotional supportwhich helps lighten the mental
load.
Just know someone has your backand can help reduce anxiety
(21:44):
about bills and unexpectedexpenses.
Can help reduce anxiety aboutbills and unexpected expenses.
It's the mental cushion againstthe stress that comes with
living from paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's real brother.
I love that one, so you see howthat emotional and mental works
together.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, yeah, it does, brother, because then it's a
cushion, yeah, yeah, it's acushion for all that anxiety
that you're going to getting upat four o'clock in the morning,
just like you just mentioned,for real, bro.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
or or dealing with the traffic bro, and look, man,
when you were entrepreneur,brother, not having that support
at home, man, I've seen we.
We have seen that.
So many dreams.
You know one thing we don't doat fbn we don't kill no dreams
around here.
(22:37):
That's what's up, all right.
Not having that emotionalsupport at home, brother, how
are you supposed to go out andconquer the world, bro?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
come on, man, how are you supposed to go out?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
and conquer the world .
Bro, come on man.
How are you supposed to put thecape?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
on in the morning.
You know this is going to ageus a little bit, maybe even age
me.
You might not remember this,but there was a cartoon Pinky
and the Brain.
And then at the end of the showhe's like Pinky, what are you
going to do today?
Brain he's like I'm'm gonnatake over the world and pinky's
(23:13):

Speaker 2 (23:20):

going to stop you, bro, ain'tnothing going to stop me.
Ain't nobody cutting me off intraffic telling me, no, nope,
(23:47):

Speaker 4 (23:48):
That's it, because when I get home tonight I'm
gonna tell my girl about thisgood news.

closer to that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):

whatever it might be.
That's what I'm saying.
Knowing that she got, knowingthat they got you, I love it,
man I love it, hey man.
so let me get into the spiritual, all right.
So the spiritual right hereLove can give you a reason to
keep pushing through financialtimes.
All right, you have to believe.
(24:13):
We just said we just said it.
And knowing that you'reproviding for someone else or
building a life together cangive you a deeper sense of
purpose and resilience.
Man feel that All right, evenwhen the numbers in your bank
account are low.
You know I'm saying yeah, loveis what helps you bend but not
(24:35):
break.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
all right talked about that last episode all
right.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
So go go, y'all go check it out, even when your
finances are stretched thin.
That was on.
And, like I said, even so, evenwhen you're, even when your
finances are stretched in.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Just remember that all right.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
So that's the spirit of y'all, ladies and gentlemen,
yep yep so, and of course, thet-shirt the t-shirt.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I'm gonna hit him with the t-shirt.
Let me hit you.
Look, y'all gotta get thist-shirt when we put it out.
I may not have six figures inthe bank, but I got love on
credit and that's priceless.
I love it, man.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I love it Brother you know, and it's such a I love
the analogy there.
Because a lot of people mightcatch that on the way home.
But money is a tangible thingyou can touch it, you can feel
it.
It is you can't feel credit.
Can you?
You cannot, you can't feel it.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You it is.
You can't feel credit, can you?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
cannot, you can't feel it.
You can't feel it and that'swhy so many people abuse it.
Right see, because it's notthere when you go.
And when you go and buy thatshirt and you don't have the
tangible asset to hand it overto the cash register, that's
right, you got that card youcould pull out and you don't
really feel it.
Nah, you know what?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I'm saying you feel later if you don't do nothing
right away you know, when thatbill comes like damn.
That's how much is on thecredit card damn.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So, man, having that love on credit brother because
you can't, it's not.
Love may not be something youcan necessarily touch right
literally right, but it issomething, it's a it's, it's a
feeling, and when it's real, itcan carry us through so much.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, and he's like he's saying you can't eat love.
You know, I feed these kids.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You can't eat love, but it's something that can
carry us through to the thingsthat we have to go out and touch
literally and tangibly so wecan do the things to continue to
build our dreams as a family.
Build our dreams together.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Right, right All right.
Speaker 2 (26:32):

Speaker 2 (00:58):

Finance Bros Network.
I am the one half of finance,anton Lefwich, and this is
Michael DuPont.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
The other half and we are coming to you live with
finance for every people.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
We are honored to be here and to be able to serve
diverse communities as usual, asusual, mike man, hey, it's
going down today, oh, oh, youknow, hey, look, it's going down
so much that we had to breakthis up into two parts.
Two parts, you feel me on that?
(01:36):
one, so we're gonna get intosomething today that is real,
real heavy in our communities.
And look this right here, mike.
I mean, you know, I I actuallylooked up some statistics on
this, but the statistics were so, uh, I didn't want to.
You know, I want to.
We want to be supportive.
We're always going to bepositive.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, things do got to getreal.
(01:56):
So we are going to get real inthe second part, but in this
first part, we're going to talkabout support, we're going to
talk about foundation, right,and so we to talk about
foundation Right, and so we'renot taking no sides on this,
mike, we're on the side of truth, that's what's up.
We're always going to be on theside of truth, all right.
So, we want to bring the truthto our wealthians and we're
going to do it today, and thisepisode is answering a very
interesting question what's lovegot to do with it?
(02:19):
Uh-oh so this is going to bepart one, because this is a big
topic, but, by the way, thisalso, mike, this reminds me of a
song.
What song is that?
Hey, y'all check this out realquick, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Okay, you must understand the touch of your
hand makes my pulse react thatit's only the thrill of boy
meeting girl opposite so trapped.
It's physical, only logical,only logical.
(03:05):
You must try to ignore that.
It means more than that.
What's love, got to do, got todo it.
What's love, but a second-handemotion.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What's love Got to do , got to do it.
Who needs a heart when a heartcan be?
Speaker 3 (03:28):
broken.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Yes, yes, we're talking about love and your
finances, mike.
All right, two things thatmight seem, you know, like
they're maybe even worlds apartfor some people, but they're
actually more connected than weall might think.
All right, when two people arereally in love and they want to
be together, I mean, thingsstart out great, don't?
Yeah, always got that that.
We call it the honeymoon phase.
All right.
(03:50):
But what happens when life hits?
No, oh, all right it's a wrap.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
It's almost a wrap most of the time for real.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
I mean we, we all, we all come together.
I mean there's this, there'sthis, it's like this there's
fire burning at first, right,and you, just you, you, you.
So they call it blinded by love, right.
Right, cause you're so, in love, you don't see no red flags,
you just cause.
You want to believe, right,right.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
We all want something to believe in, we all want to
feel like we're right and theysay the statistics do say.
That's one thing we can mention.
What's the number one reasonfor divorce?
Money.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Dope, nope, we got to say that one Yup.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
That we can't sugarcoat, right right, we can't
sugarcoat it.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But we here at.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
FBM we're going to help them out, right, of course,
mike, absolutely, absolutely.
But we here at FBM, we're goingto help them out, right, of
course, mike, absolutely,absolutely.
So we're going to give you theniceties on this one.
All right, in this first part.
In part two, obviously, mike,you know we got to get real.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Oh, man, anton, you mean, you know that song, it
brings me back, brother, itbrings me back.
But we're going to keep itpositive, as we usually do with
finance bro network, for, uh,for this episode, for this
episode, like you said, anton,and then we're gonna put a spin
on it for the next episode, forpart two.
So, you know, finance brosnetwork, we're trying to keep it
(05:16):
positive at all times, but wehave to be realistic.
Realistic too, yep, but gettinginto getting and getting into
it.
Love plays a huge role in how wemanage our money, especially if
you're a low income individualor family.
(05:36):
Yep, so today we're going tobreak it down, the way that love
impacts your financial life,whether that's in a relationship
, family or even love foryourself, say that, brother.
So, sharing financialresponsibility, love often means
teamwork.
If you're in a relationship orhave a family, you're likely to
(06:00):
share household expenses, sobudgeting together becomes
essential.
Yep, you've got to communicateand make sure everyone on is on
the same page about what'scoming in and what's going out.
Man, brother, say that, man,and I guess that that's the kind
, that's the kind of the answerto what love got to do with it
financially, right that's what'sup?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
that's what's up.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I know mike look and they look like.
Like we said, we're keeping itnice for this episode, but
mentally, you know, we alwaysgot to encourage open
conversations.
That's one thing very, very keyopen, open lines of
communication at all times youknow what?
I'm saying we want to create asafe space for each other, you
know, as as as men and womengoing into relationships, you
(06:45):
know I can only really come toyou, mike, with the things I
feel led and comfortable to cometo you with.
You know I'm saying sometimesthis does warrant a lot of
uncomfortable conversations.
Yes, sir, you know what I mean.
You got to be willing to haveuncomfortable conversations, you
know, and it's especially, yeah, and friendships, of course,
but especially in a marriage, ina relationship, absolutely all
right, and if you don't feel led, you don't feel safe to come to
(07:08):
that person.
You're just Especially, yeah,in friendships, of course, but
especially in a marriage, in arelationship, absolutely, and if
you don't feel led, you don'tfeel safe to come to that person
, you're just not going to do itFor whatever that reason might
be.
So we want to create that safespace for our partners and
mentally, like I said, encouragethose open conversations.
Money, money, money should helpcreate a space where you can
talk about that openly.
Or the foundation that wecreate within our relationship
(07:29):
should give us the open lane tocome and talk about money.
It shouldn't be like an awkwardconversation.
Even if it's uncomfortable,you're still going to come with
it anyway, because as soon as weget it out we're going to feel
a lot better about whatever itis we're trying to go for.
So when the course in bothpartners or family members man,
talk about family bro, all right, those are people that can cut
(07:52):
us the deepest.
We always open our hearts forfamily and unfortunately we get
hurt a lot.
We love them, but they cut usdeep too, for real brother.
So we just got to remember that, keep.
But they cut us deep too, forreal brother.
So we just got to remember that.
Keep it honest, keep it openand with no judgment, right,
right, makes it easier to facechallenges together and plan
better.
Of course, of course, of course,clear communication goes a long
(08:13):
way in reducing financialconflicts, and when you have
someone to lean on mentally, itcan change how you approach your
financial situation, right,instead of carrying all the
stress by yourself and you know,I mean you share the load with
each other, right?
You know, I'm saying I mean usas us, as men I mean I could
speak from a male side of things.
We always carry so much on ourshoulders where we buy me for
(08:36):
the most, really, we don't evenreally want to talk about it a
lot of times.
You know what I mean, right,because it's just it's going on
in our head and we're trying towork out the situation.
This is, this is something youknow, some, some of you ladies
out there Sometimes, us men, weget quiet and we shut down.
Yeah, we're trying to work outthe problem in our head, right,
so that when we, when it comesout, we come out with solutions.
(08:57):
Right, it doesn't come off ascomplaining or us feeling like
we're stuck.
We come with Look, this is howwe gonna go forward.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
And I wanna add to that like, even when you have a
lot of single mothers out therewho are considered head of
household on your taxes.
You gotta put it you're head ofhousehold For sure.
And what we can say is justdon't come at it on a mental
state, don't come at itemotionally.
If you got kids or if you gotkids old enough, come at it in a
(09:26):
way where it's not veryemotional so that person can
understand what is the real.
You know a black and white ofthe situation.
What's the real finance?
And you might be surprised notcoming at that person in the
family member emotionally.
You might get that supportwhere you need the support, even
if it's not financially.
But you're out there.
(09:46):
You got two, three jobs andthat child minds like, ooh,
mommy's working hard and she,she spoke about it.
Let me make sure food is ready.
Let me make sure the house isclean.
Last thing, let me do thelaundry all those things Again.
That's where that love that wetalk about you know what love
got to do with it.
That's where it's at when itcomes to that financial scenario
(10:09):
that you're dealing with.
That's stressing you, yeah,yeah, and that you want to take
it away.
You want to take some stressaway, and you'd be surprised how
much young men and womenunderstand that, Because they're
with you all day.
So they'll understand like, Ooh, I can't.
I can't be stressing my mom ordad, Cause there are single dads
(10:30):
out there too.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Even though guys hold it in more and we more we got
this, we got this.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'm tough, right, right.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
But, but you know, if you have that conversation with
them you'll see things might bea lot better, because there is
that love there, absolutely.
I love that brother.
It's deep man, yep, yep.
And I also believe thatgratitude for the little thing
goes a long way.
That's what I was just talkingabout.
(10:59):
Love teaches us to appreciatethe simple joys even when money
is tight, whether it's ahome-cooked meal.
Remember, I was saying, doingthose little things, spending
time with loved ones, or justknowing some someone cares about
you, loves, help you findcontentment beyond material
(11:22):
things.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
100, brother, you know I also have to say if you
really in love mike, this doeshelp you shift your perspective
definitely from what you don'thave to what you do have.
I'm saying, like we said alittle bit ago, looking for the
good, you know, I mean, even inthe hardest financial times,
love gives us that spiritualboost to keep going and stay
(11:43):
focused on what matters the most, right.
I mean again, I guess we'reanswering the.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
I guess we're answering the question you know
saying what's love got to dowith it.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
So look in in doing this, when that, when that, when
that foundation is solid, right?
This is why, man brother, thisis why going into a relationship
at the beginning is soimportant for us.
To be transparent, right.
Everything ain't bro, come on,man, you, we, we know we're
people at the end of the day, ofcourse.
(12:12):
So I know this woman in frontof me is not gonna be perfect in
any in every way, and if shehas, you know, if she I'm sure
she got her head on straight sheknow I'm not gonna be perfect
in every single way you knowwhat I'm saying let's get it out
, let's talk about itrespectfully.
You know I'm saying and let's,let's talk about the thing, the
areas where we may be working on, where we may be weak, like
like.
Okay, in business.
(12:32):
You know my significant other,we're in business together.
We own a company, okay, right?
So I know the things that thatshe has maybe a challenges with
and she knows the things that Ihave challenges with.
But because there's love there,because there's that foundation
there, we already picking upeach other before go, that's
what's up.
You know what I'm saying it'snot even it, really not even you
(12:54):
kind of just start to, youstart to have this uh, oh,
what's what?
Uh.
One of our agents said we got,we got the, we got the, uh, the
bluetooth oh really, yeah, yeah,i'all got that connection.
Yeah, yeah, yeah you alreadyknow what's going on before she
got to come out.
Yeah, with it, and you are.
She already know what's goingon before you got to come out
with it, right?
So there's this, there's thisin sync thing going on now.
(13:16):
It took us years to get there.
I got.
You know there's a lot of,there was a lot of, you know,
uncomfortable conversations toget there.
But I will say, man, you know,with it there was never a fear
of having them, especially onher part.
You know I'm saying she, shewelcomes uncomfortable
conversations, you know, and I Ilove that and I respect that
about her, you know.
And, by the way, it made iteasier for me to challenge
(13:38):
myself, to have thoseuncomfortable conversations.
You know, I'm saying ifsomeone's bothering me, just
come out with it, right, youknow what I mean.
And if and and at the same time, if someone's bothering me and
I'm still working it out, I'lljust let it be known.
Look, you know, got a lot on mymind right now, but I'm working
it out and I'm here with you,I'm holding your hand right.
I say this, I say this thing toher, I say, baby, I'm holding
(14:01):
your hand, right, you know, I'msaying, and I just, I just let
it be known that if, if I seem alittle quiet, I'm still with
you.
So there's these check enginelights.
You know, I'm saying that cancome on.
And I know, you know, just in,in being so close to my mom
being my hero, you know, I'msaying I, I know that, for she
(14:23):
just needs to know that I'm good, right, right, you know what
I'm saying.
And I and I know this can betrue with a lot of females Like
they want to make, they wantwhatever is going on underneath
the, underneath the closets andbehind, underneath the blankets,
behind the closed doors, andjust look, just let me know If
you let me know what it is Right.
I'll hide the, it's straight up.
(14:46):
So I mean, some women love,because women love hard, bro, I
know, especially like I know,like mine loves me.
No, we obviously speaking ofthe analogy.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Right, right, right.
I was like yo, you just coppedto a murder.
Yeah, don't go don't go out.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
You can't come to a 187 brother I'm making a very
strong analogy about love, okayand so I just come to a one
eight set.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Bro, we could have done that off the mic.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You know what I'm saying killing nobody man, okay
but I'm saying, man, they lovealmost to a fault.
Man, if we just be honest withthem, bro, we just let them know
what it is, bro, right, youknow?
I'm saying don't, don't, don't,let them, don't, let them hear
what's going on from somebodyelse let them hear from you, bro
.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know I'm saying don't, don't have them hear
what's going on from somebodyelse.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Let them hear from you, bro.
You know I'm saying don't,don't have them being
embarrassed at no parties youknow right right, right right
right like let it because,because they'll be the first one
to defend you, they'll be thefirst line of defense, you know
I'm saying but you gotta letthem know, right.
Hey say, babe, before we go inhere, you know the play, I got
the play.
Baby boom, we good yep.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
And that works the same way with the finance,
exactly because if she, if yousee, or if she sees let's say
she sees a bugatti, that's30,000.
Now, baby, I want that one day.
Now she ain't gonna be like,come on now, like you ain't
telling me that you want abugatti where we ain't got that,
(16:06):
that's a car that's a car yeah,we, we can't put a car on your
arms right now, baby, we likeand so let's say, there's that
communication it's like.
I really love that bad.
You know, when we become, whenwe become multi-millionaire,
that's something I would like.
I'll make sure you got one foreach foot.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
You can skate around town if you want to every
different color of bugattis.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
You could, you could have for real.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Brother, baby, I'll get you one in every color.
You ain't got to worry aboutnothing.
You hear me and look, and thisis mike.
This is now.
Look.
Ladies and gentlemen,wealthians, we are making these
statements and we are talkingabout this subject with respect
to a couple of things that webelieve are already in place.
(16:55):
We're assuming a couple ofthings.
Ok, we're assuming there'strust in the relationship.
Ok, we're assuming there'srespect in the relationship.
We're assuming there's respectin the relationship.
Okay, we're assuming that youknow what I'm saying.
You guys are faithful to eachother and doing the right things
behind closed doors thatwarrant the type of respect and
love you can come to expect fromone another.
(17:16):
Okay, if it's janky stuff goingon, it's found.
It's going on like this already.
We already know what's going onout there in the world.
It's Mike.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
It's hard enough to get, to find a good person, to
get into a relationship and trueto form to the beginning of the
show.
Bro.
What love got to do it, becauseeven tither turn it and said
it's a secondhand emotion, suredid.
It's like you touching eachother, we feeling each other oh
it feels great, but but is thattruly?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
love that truly love, for real bro.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
So so, because when it is truly love, then then we
put all these scenarios in frontof it.
Yes, yes, that you communicateand you work it now, especially
when it comes to finance.
It's not gonna cost your armand leg to be together man
brother, it's already going tobe understood, understood.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
If we going out for a burger, we still spending time
together.
If it's a $300 steak, it'sstill the time together.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
That's the important thing Exactly, you know what I
mean.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
So, whether you rich and you got everything, or you
know what I'm saying, our UPIs,we underprivileged and we have
dang near nothing, right, but wehave this love and we have each
other.
No-transcript, life is alreadygoing to be hard enough.
(18:57):
It's already going to be hardenough to get this money.
Yeah, already going to be hardenough.
So, so, having that person andwe on the same page, like he was
saying, mike, at all times, andeverything we doing, especially
about what's going in, what'scoming in, what's going out,
right, bro, we unstoppable,exactly, we invincible.
(19:18):
You know what I'm saying.
You look at your girl, man,babe, I got you.
She looking at you like, babe,I got you.
And you know when she say youfeel that I got you.
and you know, bro, when she saidyou feel that, bro, I got
chills on my arms, right now browhen she say that you feel that
and, by the way, so cold towhere she ain't even gotta say
it you saying it for her exactlyyou know I'm saying I know you
(19:39):
got me baby.
Yeah, I know you got straightup, brother.
There you go.
That's what's up, man.
So, like mike, look we're gonnaget into the breakdown, yep.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Let's get into the breakdown, so let's hit them
with the literal.
The literal is makingsacrifices.
Sometimes love means givingsomething up so you, so your
partner or family, can have whatthey need.
This could mean prioritizingbills over personal spending or
(20:10):
working extra hours to supportyour family.
These are sacrifices that maybe tough, but they are done out
of love.
Amen, brother, they are doneout of love, feel that man.
So that's the scenario right nowyou, whoever the head of
(20:32):
household or whoever's doingwhat they got to do.
The literal is you're actuallyout there working.
You're actually out there doingthis stuff because you have
that love for all the stuff wejust spoke about, that person
that got you, the person who has, because you guys got something
together, you planning ittogether, you're going to make
it happen together.
So you have no problem goingout there doing what you got to
(20:55):
do.
Working that over time, workingextra hours, can't stop the
hustle, but I absolutely can'tstop the hustle.
And that's going to help.
That love is going to help youcontinue to hustle, because you
both got a goal.
You're both moving on the samepath of that goal.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
You ain't got no problem waking up 4.35 in the
morning, there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Love it, man, yep.
And then let's hit them withthe mental.
The mental is emotional support.
Reduce financial stress.
When you're in a relationshipor have a family, love often
gives you emotional supportwhich helps lighten the mental
load.
Just know someone has your backand can help reduce anxiety
(21:44):
about bills and unexpectedexpenses.
Can help reduce anxiety aboutbills and unexpected expenses.
It's the mental cushion againstthe stress that comes with
living from paycheck to paycheck.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's real brother.
I love that one, so you see howthat emotional and mental works
together.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Yeah, yeah, it does, brother, because then it's a
cushion, yeah, yeah, it's acushion for all that anxiety
that you're going to getting upat four o'clock in the morning,
just like you just mentioned,for real, bro.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
or or dealing with the traffic bro, and look, man,
when you were entrepreneur,brother, not having that support
at home, man, I've seen we.
We have seen that.
So many dreams.
You know one thing we don't doat fbn we don't kill no dreams
around here.
(22:37):
That's what's up, all right.
Not having that emotionalsupport at home, brother, how
are you supposed to go out andconquer the world, bro?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
come on, man, how are you supposed to go out?
Speaker 2 (22:47):
and conquer the world .
Bro, come on man.
How are you supposed to put thecape?
Speaker 4 (22:49):
on in the morning.
You know this is going to ageus a little bit, maybe even age
me.
You might not remember this,but there was a cartoon Pinky
and the Brain.
And then at the end of the showhe's like Pinky, what are you
going to do today?
Brain he's like I'm'm gonnatake over the world and pinky's
(23:13):
like all right, let's make ithappen.
Brain that's what we talk aboutthat mental there.
What are you gonna do today?
Speaker 2 (23:20):
brain, I'm gonna take over the world and pinky's like
all right, let's get it, let'sget it brother, when you look at
man and you say something likethat, when your day starts, and
she look at you with that beliefin her eyes Yep, yep, man, what
you going to do, I'm going totake over the world, and nothing
going to stop you, bro, ain'tnothing going to stop me.
Ain't nobody cutting me off intraffic telling me, no, nope,
(23:47):
that's that's just rolling offthe back.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
That's it, because when I get home tonight I'm
gonna tell my girl about thisgood news.
Yep, you know what I'm saying,or what that did to get us to
closer to that.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Next that's right that next you're gonna be,
you're gonna be happy to shareall the wins and losses,
whatever it might be.
That's what I'm saying.
Knowing that she got, knowingthat they got you, I love it,
man I love it, hey man.
so let me get into the spiritual, all right.
So the spiritual right hereLove can give you a reason to
keep pushing through financialtimes.
All right, you have to believe.
(24:13):
We just said we just said it.
And knowing that you'reproviding for someone else or
building a life together cangive you a deeper sense of
purpose and resilience.
Man feel that All right, evenwhen the numbers in your bank
account are low.
You know I'm saying yeah, loveis what helps you bend but not
(24:35):
break.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
all right talked about that last episode all
right.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
So go go, y'all go check it out, even when your
finances are stretched thin.
That was on.
And, like I said, even so, evenwhen you're, even when your
finances are stretched in.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Just remember that all right.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
So that's the spirit of y'all, ladies and gentlemen,
yep yep so, and of course, thet-shirt the t-shirt.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
I'm gonna hit him with the t-shirt.
Let me hit you.
Look, y'all gotta get thist-shirt when we put it out.
I may not have six figures inthe bank, but I got love on
credit and that's priceless.
I love it, man.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I love it Brother you know, and it's such a I love
the analogy there.
Because a lot of people mightcatch that on the way home.
But money is a tangible thingyou can touch it, you can feel
it.
It is you can't feel credit.
Can you?
You cannot, you can't feel it.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
You it is.
You can't feel credit, can you?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
cannot, you can't feel it.
You can't feel it and that'swhy so many people abuse it.
Right see, because it's notthere when you go.
And when you go and buy thatshirt and you don't have the
tangible asset to hand it overto the cash register, that's
right, you got that card youcould pull out and you don't
really feel it.
Nah, you know what?
Speaker 4 (25:43):
I'm saying you feel later if you don't do nothing
right away you know, when thatbill comes like damn.
That's how much is on thecredit card damn.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
So, man, having that love on credit brother because
you can't, it's not.
Love may not be something youcan necessarily touch right
literally right, but it issomething, it's a it's, it's a
feeling, and when it's real, itcan carry us through so much.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Right, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, and he's like he's saying you can't eat love.
You know, I feed these kids.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
You can't eat love, but it's something that can
carry us through to the thingsthat we have to go out and touch
literally and tangibly so wecan do the things to continue to
build our dreams as a family.
Build our dreams together.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
