Brian Page spent fifteen years working eighty hour weeks while his wife ran most everything at home. Then they traded places. She went all in on her career, he took over the entire household, and they moved the family twice for her job.

He is the founder of Modern Husbands, a Certified Financial Therapist and an Accredited Financial Counselor, and in this episode he sits down with me to break down how they actually afford it.

Brian and I walk through the household income that funded all of it, the rule they never broke on housing, how they paid for three kids without taking on debt, and the one sentence he asked his wife to tell her boss that turned into a global promotion two weeks later.

Plus, he shares why he irons his wife's clothes before he puts them away, and the three books he tells every man to read.

Brian reveals the bleeding ulcer and the Christmases he spent too sick to leave the house, the junk car his father made him drive and the reason behind it, what the research says about couples who combine all their finances, and how he thinks about protecting himself financially now that he is not the one earning.
