My twin sister and I live together, and she recently started outearning me. It's caused a change in our power dynamic.
My twin sister started making $20,000 more than I make, and our dynamic shifted. I used to fully support myself and help her out, too.

I’m also curious as to why the word ‘cult’ isn’t being thrown around more as a way to describe this group.
