Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · Monday, August 3, 2026
James Sexton, a divorce attorney, draws a parallel between maintaining love in a marriage and managing finances, stating that both require consistent "preventative maintenance" rather than grand gestures. He explains that small, daily habits are key to improving relationships and financial situations over time. Sexton notes that love, like money, is not a static gift but something that can be loaned and needs ongoing attention.
“I think money and love are very similar in that way. That like the the best advice isn't that sexy. They're little habits you can do every single day that are gonna improve your situation and that are gonna pay dividends over time.”
“love isn't permanently gifted, it's loaned.”
“That's true about money and it's true about love.”
