hiding and cheating is hard work and mindful.
LL said:I walked in on the DH the other day and saw him holding a wallet stuffed full of cash. It kind of suprised me . I asked him where that came from and he said he keeps it in the dresser.
() said:I dont, but I could. My wife pays no attention to the finances. She buys what she wants, lets me know if she's going to buy anything that costs more than 1000 so I can make sure we have the liquid cash, and anything over 5000 we should talk over.
My dad did though, and after his second wife took him to the cleaners it was about all he had left to retire on, so maybe its not such a bad idea...
The stepmonster did a good job with her winnings though. She opened a donut shop in a strip mall on a dead end street and paid cash for a house. A year later the donut shop rolled over and the bank ended up taking the house.
Thats too bad because I wouldnt mind thinking of her as a 300lb woman in her 60's getting up at 4am muttering "Time to make the donuts..."
Enuff2Eat said:all,
thanks for all the exciting responses. I believe most of the case for "hiding" money is because one of the spouse is financially "illiterate" or have "spending out of control" syndrom. and hiding is the only solution to avoid constant talk about finance and spending. And occasionally bring a nice and surprise of "new found" money when the money is revealed.

If one person has stayed home to rear the children and take care of the house, then I feel sorry for them if they were never married and do not live in a common law state since they will not be entitled to social security widow's/widower's benefits.HaHa said:Absent children to be cared for, I can't see any reason to share finances. What adult wants another person telling him/her what he/she can do with money?
In fact, I can't see any reason for marriage, except raising children. I knew there may be tactical reasons at times, but overall who needs it? Just another roach motel.

I tried not to poke into my co-workers personal life but I do get the feeling many of them dont really trust their spouse with the finance. Some tend to hide money by way of seperate account or just plain hiding.
is this a common things in the US? don't trust their spouse with their money. Personally I pay everything for the operation of the household. My wife keep her own money but when i do needed it. she got no problem to "share" . she does things for her family eventhough i know but i just dont say anything.
keep the peace and try to avoid sleeping on the couch...
