That's a dumb move baw! If you are starting out marriage pulling petty shite like this then I don't see a happy future for you and your wife.

It won't go well when you do release it. My wife and I fully disclose any financial issues together.

That's what is do. Every raise I get I either put it in a rarely tapped account or more investments.
The difference is that I tell my wife that that's what we are going to do.

OT Baller Approved Answer
Step 1: PIIHB
Step 2: Rusty Trombone her tonight as well
Step 3: STOP watching cat videos
Step 4: Set up a separate H&B ACH Account* through your work for the raise to go directly into without her knowledge.

Subtle brag, plus an attempt to get approval from others to be a shitty husband. Cute

No Sir...
Great question actually, and I'm sure the answers will run the gambit.
My Dad told me a long time ago to always take care of the houses financial obligations, but never let the woman know exactly what you make. If you have direct deposit, open another account, and have everything paperless. I do the "extra money" through my works credit union.
Good, bad, or otherwise, it's solid advice for "ME", and works.

tell her you got a raise, then tell her what the budgets gonna be.
if you're worried about your wife squeezing you for a buck, you're a little late for that. already married her.

My wife and I keep our money separate.

If so, for how long?
Follow the money.
Many one or two or more-time marriage losers habitually reflexively do this (keep separate accounts) out of historical habit but people on their first marriage or SO relationship usually co-mingle funds.
I have a couple of secret slush funds.

This is a silly question. Why would she worry her pretty little head about important things like money?

Get an AMEX serve card and have the increased amount auto deposited on it.
When you get busted, announce you saved it for your next surprise vacation. Then yell "Surprise bitch!!"

just got a nice raise at work. Do i tell her right away or wait a few months?
Here's what you do: play it cool for a few months. Treat yourself but don't be obvious about it. Have some fun.
Then buy her something nice (preferably shiny and expensive, but you know what she'll go for better than me), treat her to a fancy dinner, and reveal it there as if the raise were fresh.
You get to have fun upfront and still gain some brownie points for later.

She doesn't need to know what you make, just how to make a sandwich and spread em.

I had no idea what this place was until my wife bought a normal looking dress for $300. We don't go back there.

You say honey, I got a raise at work and I set up a savings account that automatically deposits the difference into that account.
That way you told her you got it and you were a man about it and told her where it was going.

My wife seldom talks and hates to spend money. Dodged that bullet, but I do have a daughter ??
