Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · Monday, August 3, 2026
James Sexton highlighted the dangers of 'willful blindness' regarding finances within relationships. He stated that not knowing where money is or having only a vague sense of financial situations can lead to toxic arguments and significant harm. Sexton emphasized that financial ignorance can be as detrimental as issues related to custody.
“It's dangerous to not know where the money is and to have some general sense of things. But I have to deal with people's willful blindness all the time.”
“When it comes to custody, when it comes to finances, those are very dangerous financial habits. Because what you don't know can hurt you.”
