Hey, Tech Lead here and welcome back to another episode,

To-infinitive

now I have a bit of funny news to share with you guys.

Now, I know that some of you guys may be surprised

I have a kid as well, a three year old child, he's great.

Now, I don't want to get too much into the details

and it's just way too much information, right, like

it's just random personal, small detailed information that

the biggest victim in all of this is my son, and,

you know, I strongly believe that children should be growing

so it is just an absolute shame that this had to happen

I had always envisioned that I would be living

many, many years, to the end of my life with this person

and my son and that it would just be a great family,

I tried my absolute hardest to get this to work

and I loved both of those people to the very end,

and the whole story is super complex and I might get into it

over time, but in this episode I specifically wanted to

since sometimes I talk about personal finance,

but yeah, you can see that this whole apartment is empty.

Let's talk about how money affects a relationship,

because I feel that success played a big role

and it did this in ways that I did not expect.

Okay, so, firstly money acts as an escape hatch,

anytime you have the smallest little disagreement

or argument you can just press this button

and you'll be on your way, you can get out,

and you can go travel or do whatever you want,

you can decide to become a single parent,

it's actually quite easy if you have sufficient funds,

you can just stay home and watch the kid and you know,

like for example, my parents, they came into the U.S.,

they were broke and that struggle became a bomb for them,

and there was no quick, easy escape hatch for either of them

they just had to learn to cooperate and work together

and that strengthened their relationship.

But, not so much, if you have some level of success,

and I feel like I have been climbing Mt. Everest

normally there's no way to bail on a mountain like that

you have to get to the top or keep struggling to go up.

But, when you have funds, you can just call in a helicopter

and the helicopter would just take you out

like I don't know if I'll be able to get to the top anymore.

Now the second point here is that money makes

like when I know I've messed up I will try

to apologize by taking my wife to seafood restaurants,

but she did not appreciate any of this stuff

because when you have, like, tons of money,

On her birthdays I would get her, like, a $30 item,

or something and then she would say that I did not
