Mini Motivation #91 - What kind of problems do you fight over?

I was chatting with an old friend the other day, let’s call him Ken. We both grew up together, and had been through some tough times before we are slightly better now, financially I mean.

Ken was commenting that, just like any couples, from time to time, he would have arguments with his wife. But he did noticed that their topics or reasons of arguments were different over time. When they were starting out and poorer, they would often quarrel about money - not having enough to cover the bills, how they should be splitting the responsibilities, whether they can change to the latest iPhones etc.

Then, when they were more financially sound, the arguments would start from seemingly petty matters - that female client he’s always meeting, why does he always leave the toilet seat up/down, why aren’t they talking more anymore.

And that got me thinking, because I did see where Ken was coming from. In the latter, those issues seemed petty because they had gone through way bigger issues before - getting summons from banks, cards being frozen, working with debt consultants, borrowing from friends and families.

And the ending remark was, given the choice, we would opt for their financial problems because in the end, they worked together to solve the problem, and that brought them closer together. Petty problems of recent, in his opinion, were not even real problems at all, and were high emotional in nature.

That got me thinking as well, how often did I myself argue with my partners over small matters, and would not had been a real issue if we were in a poorer financial state.

What do you think? Do you think this is a valid argument/observation, or just isolated cases?

Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3-minute reads.

From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.

Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.

Oh it did? Let me know in the comments, and of course an upvote would be a nice motivation for me. :)

Stay awesome!
