Alexis and Edwens are 29 and 30, married with a 10-month-old, and their biggest fight keeps coming back to one question: why won't he open a joint bank account?
Edwens immigrated from the Dominican Republic less than two years ago, and his solution is simple: give Alexis $1,000 a month and keep the rest separate.
To him that is independence. To Alexis, it is the reason she feels like she is running their household alone.
What starts as a fight about a bank account goes much deeper.
Underneath it are cultural differences, childhood money patterns, and two people with a baby still trying to figure out how to build one shared future.
Can they build a real financial partnership before the distance between them gets any wider?
