How do you navigate saving in bitcoin with your romantic partner?

1568 sats \ 3 comments \ @vsxpioir 4 Oct relationships

I figure I would ask stackers who have either been in relationships before starting their journey on bitcoin or started a new relationship with a non-stacker while being a already being a stacker.

I fall into the second one - my partner understands (or so I think) my reasoning of saving in bitcoin. I have explained to her hard money, fiat currencies, government monopoly, etc. She even started buying a little bit but then stopped. She sees real estate as a better option.

And hey, with these crazy rent prices in western Europe I do agree that paying a mortgage is better than paying rent to a degree.

I'm curious how you people out there navigated this topic and how future plans a are affected by this. (Assuming you see your partner as a long term relationship)

With real estate, it's not unreasonable to think of buying your own house as more than a simple financial investment. There are qualitative differences about owning and you have to pay to live somewhere.

My wife and I have our own retirement accounts from prior jobs and we manage them separately. She was supportive of me going all-in on (paper) bitcoin.

For our day-to-day financial management, she's fine with me stacking sats, as long as we maintain a sufficient emergency fund.

It's very important to meet your partner where they are, when you can. Making a life together means trusting each other not to make completely ruinous choices.

The latter for me as well.

My partner prefers to be unconcerned with money so there isn't much to navigate. On occasion we've discussed buying a house but never very seriously. To the extent that we discuss longterm savings, it's usually around avoiding further impoverishing ourselves due to my hand-to-mouth founder salary.
