Financial matters: Does it matter if a woman earns more than her male partner?
Wealth coach Kelly Willis Green argues that the answer is complicated, but communication can help couples find it
When Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce this past summer, the world saw a modern fairy tale come true: the global superstar and the football hero. What could be more romantic? But behind the headlines sits a far more interesting—and increasingly common—relationship dynamic.
What happens when women bring considerably more wealth to the relationship than their male partners?
According to the latest Statistics Canada data, in nearly one-third (32.8 per cent) of different-sex couples, women earned more than half of the couple’s employment income in 2023. And that data captures income only, omitting those relationships in which a woman brings considerably greater assets or inherited wealth.

Why family offices are turning to private mortgage lending
Having weathered the ups and downs of Canada’s residential real estate market for 22 years, CMI Financial Group is well accustomed to both volatility and adaptation in private lending.
“After the 2008 financial crisis, we identified a market opportunity to reposition ourselves in the alternative investment and private lending space, which is the core focus of our company today,” says Bryan Jaskolka, chief executive officer of the private lending firm that has completed nearly $4 billion in total mortgage funding and has over $1 billion in assets under management.
Based in Mississauga, Ont., CMI has grown to become a sophisticated operator in the residential space, a sector that offers more liquidity and a shorter investment horizon than commercial real estate, Jaskolka says, adding that CMI’s strategy is based on short-term residential mortgages of six to 24 months. “It’s different than investing in the equity of a project, or being the owner of real estate. As a lender, our clients’ investments sit ahead of the borrower’s equity.”
