[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I earn $800k; DH earns $100k. My brother found his dream house and needed to borrow $100k for the down payment. DH and I talked about it briefly. Basically, "You ok with this?" "Yeah sure." Done. If he'd hesitated, we would have talked about it more until he felt ok about it or until he vetoed it. His friend was struggling last year and he came to me and asked how I felt about gifting the friend $10k. I said yeah. I love the friend, too. But DH wasn't going to do it if I wasn't ok with it. [b]The way I view it - when you're a couple, no matter who earns what, you're a family. You're a unit. You decide together. Nobody "lets" the other do anything or buy anything. When it comes to big money decisions, you talk about it and come to a decision together.[/b][/quote] This, exactly. In a healthy normal marriage, it’s “our” money no matter who brings in which portion, and you make big financial decisions together. [/quote]
