since when did husbands and wives not share the information regarding the amounts sitting in savings / retirement / checking... how could she not know that the means was not there to pay for it all?
If I ever decide to give up my happiness, sanity, and freedom get married I would want to keep finances seperate. I am probably in the minority here but I would not be worried about my partners accounts and would not want him to be worried about mine.
Me too. I don't know if I'll ever consider getting married, because I'm not really a fan of commitment or monogamy, but if I did, I would definitely want to keep our finances seperate.
I like Suze Orman's idea; three accounts - yours, theirs, and a shared expense account - and depositing equal percentages of your respective incomes into the shared expense account.
