nope...she probably doesn't even know how much money we have, what upcoming re-occurring bills/obligations we have but she is smart, frugal and makes great decisions...works well for me

I feel sorry for all the baws that can’t trust their wives with money.

that's my wife, has no clue, it's not that I hide anything, she just isn't interested in the details

Yes- no need for each other to see what you’re spending

We’ve never had a separate account bc I was in school when we got married and then I was a stay at home mom for a long time - I didn’t have anything to put in my own account
Then when I went to work I only think it’s fair for my husband to have access to the money I made bc I spent his all those years - right?

A decent amount of people do. Some make it work. Most don’t realize they’re set for divorce sooner or later. It creates inequality in the relationship with the person you’re supposed to be closest to in life

Trust me on this not your wife. Do not trust your wife on separate accounts. Have a joint account and stay on top of things. People change. Realize this. That is all.

We share a checking, savings, and retirement accounts not tied to our employers. We each have one credit card that the other doesn't have access to. We touch base weekly on our current balances and pay them off every month. It's worked well for us the last 8 years.
This almost word-for-word describes our situation as well. Been married 12 years.

meh, I know people need money to live but I don't think it should be a high priority item in that regard, more and more I've just accepted that it's only money and you can't take it with you, now if you do go through a divorce, as the man, you're going to get hosed

Same. My wife hasn't worked a for pay job in almost 20 years. She just knows she has a credit card. She can buy whatever at the grocery, put gas in her car and live life. If she wants to spend something outside of that say over 4-500, we'll discuss it first. She doesn't really spend much so it's all good. I've had to get her involved in some of the finances in case I croak.

I'm setting my daughter up to know where everything is for that day, she's the smart, level headed one in this family

No She has been a homemaker and has been faithful 50 years. Once people get married, they become one.

Clearly hiding something.
Thats the only reason you wouldn’t had a joint account or let your wife have access.

Yes we have separate accounts
We each have certain bills that are our responsibility. Her money is hers and mine is mine. We both prefer it this way and it prevents a lot of arguments.
If I want to go buy a gun or a new truck I can and she can’t say shite. Vice versa with her. As long as the bills are paid

Sounds like he is an alpha to me

And if something happens and they can’t be paid?
