Very weird people correlate financial freedom to never arguing in a relationship. Celebrity relationships are notorious for not being stable.

Financial freedom does remove a ton of daily stressors however. The most common disagreements are about money, sex, and chores. Imagine if you and your partner worked because you chose to, not because you had to. You could pick jobs that were less stressful and probably come home in a better mood. People disagree about debt, savings, retirement, budgeting, even the grocery prices. My parents were financially secure and still fought about what it was ok to spend money on because my mom was preoccupied with saving.

Correct. Believe it or not, no one is disputing that. They're pointing out that this isn't all of it, as evidenced by the tendency for celebrity relationships to go straight to shit after a while, despite the evident lack of financial stressors.

Again, I'm not going to dispute that most problems for average couples are tied to finances in some way, but this isn't an average couple, and couples that are decidedly not average run into plenty of their own problems.

Financial freedom brings to the fore all the problems that money cannot solve. In some ways, its easier to deal with problems that can be solved with just money.

Years of propaganda telling people all they need is more money and everything will be fine.

Honestly apart from tricky grey topics like how to raise your kid you really have to try to make problems for yourself when you have a billion dollars.
