When my husband starts talking financial matters, I have this urge to turn on HGTV.
The spouse and I do talk about financial matters, but not a lot. Most of the investing decisions are left to him. He has the time and inclination for the research and until lately I have been working too much.
Now that I have a bit more time, I am becoming more interested in how he invests our money. I began participating in this board to become more educated in the financial planning part of retirement. Yet I really don't want to tread too much on what has been my spouse's turf. And my eyes still tend to glaze over when he talks commodities, hedge funds, etc. He also has very strong opinions about index funds, which are mostly contrary to this board.
If it was me alone, I am sure I would make different decisions. However, the ones he has made have worked out well for us, so I have nothing to complain about.
