They both earn a decent wage which should make managing their household finances easy if done properly and within their means. The wake-up call for Laura that there is a problem with how Sean handles the household money is when an error he made led to a $10,000 income tax bill. Upon closer investigation, Gail does find that Sean is a money moron, but not for the reasons Laura stated in their meeting prior to them ambushing Sean. Beyond the income tax problem, which Sean readily admits was his fault and thus is his responsibility to fix (i.e. pay), Gail finds that Sean and Laura do not communicate with each other properly about their finances, with Sean shutting down anytime there is a confrontation, leading to Laura doing whatever she wants unilaterally, which is shop as a hobby. While Laura complains about the amount of money Sean pours into his beater of a car and the television with all the bells and whistles (which in reality he does not pour as much money into as she guesstimates), she in turn spends uncontrollably on clothes and home decor items, the latter with little to show for in their house in she not wanting to do anything with the items in her indecisiveness in not wanting to decorate in a way she will regret later. And although they both earn a relative equivalent to each other, Sean does most of the heavy lifting financially when it comes to their needs, especially for their shelter. Gail wants this couple to start communicating with each other, a symbolic task being to decorate one of their rooms to both their satisfaction, mostly with things they have already purchased, with all other items purchased that haven't been used to be sold or returned. Gail also provides them with a life coach so that they can get on the same page with their goals in life, and with that the financial obligations they have jointly. Written by Huggo See less
