Had an interesting conversation with Duduzile Maphanga on #SidebarWithSindi last night

Finances and relationships - always a tricky one to discuss

SO something came up during the convo and I'm curious to hear your views on this matter

I dream big and I dream far

"One day when I'm grown up I'm going to drive a Mercedes-Benz"

It doesn't matter when this happens, but it's going to happen.

What happens when you're in a relationship with someone who is financially astute and just doesn't grasp the dream?

When I mentioned this big dream to Duduzile, her immediate response was "can you afford the car?"

Great question but what happens to the big dream?!

Do I now abandon it because "it's only a car and the one you have gets you from A to B just fine"?

Sidebar: husbae and I have this conversation every so often by the way (because I feel I deserved a push gift in the form of a luxury SUV and he doesn't understand quite get why anyone would get anyone a push gift and I'm tired of explaining)
