[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh and OP is there an age gap between you and this person?[/quote]

I'm curious too and the earnings gap.
You both don't earn that much if you need to save to move to a new house and you want SIL to "buy" the bag you didn't want and couldn't return (??). He basically is terrible with money and doesn't make enough to be terrible with money. That's it in a nutshell. [/quote]

I make 110k. Total comp, he makes around 350k. This doesn’t include his investments. He plans on retiring by the time he’s 40 (he’s 36).

It’s not about saving money per se, I just didn’t want him buying me expensive things when it could go towards the baby or something for the house. Money isn’t an issue.

He’s very good with money but because he has quite a bit of it this is like pocket change to him. I grew up comfortable but we didn’t spend hundreds of dollars on gifts, and if we did, it was a rarity. I had to help my family financially since I got my first big girl job.

[b]He doesn’t like me paying for things. When we first started dating that was a big adjustment for me - letting him pay for everything. [/b][/quote]

You in danger, girl. [/quote]

Ehh, I’m not that worried about this part. He doesn’t like me paying for dinners, trips, etc. For property, or any major purchases or investments we’ve already discussed I will be contributing and my name will be on things.

I will never be at stay at home mom. Will maintain my own account and we have a joint separate house and savings account. I don’t believe in not having your own and letting someone have 100% say in finances, especially as a woman. [/quote]
