davewe Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Sorry for the delay with my reply. I had to ask my wife for permission. I'm in charge. :) This reminds me of an old fave joke: A young man was about to marry. He asked an old man who had been married for over 50 years the secret to a long and happy marriage. The old man replied, "When we married, we decided that my wife would make all the small, day to day decisions, and I would make the major decisions." "That sounds fair," said the young man. "How has it worked out?" "Not sure," replied the old guy. "There hasn't been a major decision yet." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewe Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 OK, here's the serious answer. We've only been married 2 years and since Janet came to live in my country, my home, and joined my life it was sort of logical that I am still handling the finances. I am also handling the upcoming retirement plans, since after all I am the one retiring. However, since Janet works and saves her own money (and yes, she does save) we more and more make mutual decisions based on both our paychecks. We discuss all money matters and I am completely open about what I have and don't have, particularly what I can and cannot afford. I can certainly see that once I retire and we move to PI, and ultimately she owns the house, that she can happily control the purse strings. That's what we are building to. Now whether that means that just because I control the bill paying at this moment that I am in charge - well even I am not that naive! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
