The finance man’s view of love, marriage and compromise
A study of love & marriage based on economic principles
This is my brother’s input into my decision:
He says that compromise is based on a perceived benefit. He said that I’d be willing to give up a lot of stuff if the perceived value was enough. And must trust that I am getting what I am bargaining for and that the terms of the contract will be honored. I would give up my dreams, if I felt like A, B, C would be given to me and be worth it what I’m giving up and is of equal value. He is right. He says I’m not selfish. It is about economics. He says that I must be receiving equal value for what I’m giving.
He always he has a “financial” explanation or analogy for everything. This is how he relates everything. The joy of having brother who is a financial analyst. Strangely, I get him and I understand him. He makes complete sense. I think in lists, he thinks in money! LOL.

And don’t forget that brothers have points of view that sisters will never have (and vice versa). It’s good to have a loving sibling of the opposite sex!
And while we’re at it, I hope you’re not procrastinating about that 403b! Brother can tell you what it’s costing every year to do without.

Your brother is just way more concrete sequential than most of us, who kind of do a pros and cons. That’s essentially what he’s doing, isn’t it?
