This is great advice for younger people. It makes absolute sense to always have a pillow to take care of yourself. Gotta have your get out of town bag.

Older generations have much different landmarks on relationships that aren’t really standing for us today.

That is 100% the wrong way to take this. It has nothing to do with wanting or being prepared to leave. It is specifically to have an account that you can spend any way you want. Mainly I'm talking about fun things that, in a joint bank account, your partner might argue is frivolous. This is a way to avoid a potential argument.

How is this the wrong way to take it? Setting aside money to take care of yourself wether it be a new video game or whatever it is you need to buy, it’s still taking care of yourself.

Yes, that I agree with. I just don't like the notion of "gotta have your get out of town bag"
