[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So he’s putting away about 125k a year in his personal account? And your budget is 42k a year for everything? What is he putting away for your retirement? His? Do r you have a joint investment account? What about college? I worry for your future. That money should be joint. Also you put premarital money in the home. Why is his separate? Look I know you don’t think divorce is in the cards but honestly anything can happen and this level of secrecy and control would be unsettling to me.[/quote]

More like $100k/yr, but not exactly sure. I end up using closer to $50k/yr, because inevitably I end up paying for some of the bigger expenses like a new appliance after our old one breaks, furniture, or I plan and book family trips.

We have a joint investment account.  We have a college fund.  There's no secrecy, really I just think it's inertia and a hesitancy to change things.[/quote]

Also, our assets have grown considerably just in recent years.  So prior to that, it seemed less precarious.  But now that our assets have grown,  I can see that maybe we need to take another look at how we are doing things.[/quote]
