[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The finances aren't equal because the SAH spouse is legally the dependent. You can't be equal while being dependent.[/quote] yes you can. We are wealthy, and I have full access to all our money. I even manage it. If needed I would get half in a divorce after 35+ years of marriage. What one earns goes into the pot that we all share equally. However, that requires you to have an adult relationship where you communicate with each other---if you want to purchase something you discuss it (if outside of a reasonable range---I spend $500-1000 without any concern more than mentioning it. For a large purchase we will discuss more so because that's what we have always done, starting from when we were poor and had to make good fiscal decisions. So now we typically discuss stuff but normally it's more just to keep the other informed, not as a true decision making event. We both are 99% on the same page for spending money (we are still frugal). [/quote]
