Ramit asserts that a parent-child dynamic in a relationship is toxic and damaging to both the financial stability and the romantic connection of a couple.

“Let me break down why the parent child money dynamic is absolutely toxic to relationships. First, your partner's not a child and you're not going to get them to act like an adult by treating them like a child. Number two, this dynamic is sexual kryptonite.”

James acknowledges that adopting a parent-child dynamic regarding finances in a relationship is toxic and counterproductive.

“I think one of the biggest surprises out of the conversation was the fact that Kesha and I had some type of parent and child dynamic going on when it come to our finances and I didn't like that.”
