[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has about $300,000 worth of stock in it. I didn't know about this account. He says it is for "us".  But if that was so, then why do I not know about it? This all came to light when we were talking about budgeting and how to spend less on the credit card. We have minimal debt, other than the house payment but dh worries about it. That's when he mentioned that account. It's not retirement or college account. It is just sitting there. [b]Meanwhile, I've been scrimping and saving to pay for kids activities, etc, nevermind clothing or whatever for me[/b]. All this time that money was there.  He says he just didn't think to lay everything out and it wasn't purposeful. He has always been tight with money but I didn't think of him as being dishonest. Would you be upset about this?

I work full time. My paycheck goes into the joint account. He knows where my money is. It feels unfair. [/quote]

If you're "scrimping and saving" and have $5K in consumer debt on $220K per year you're doing something wrong.  Even worse if he's the sole earner because that means a significant amount of that $220K isn't subject to SS withholdings.[/quote]

Op has clearly stated she works full time.  Depending on where they live and their mortgage payment, it's not hard to imagine things are tight if they're maxing out retirement savings and paying for childcare.  Especially if her dh is taking money out for investing every month!![/quote]
