[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are entitled to set aside $1 million for your parents. Holding it from your fiancée is messed up. You should be going over your finances with a fine toothed comb before getting married. Get a prenup. Give her plenty of time to go over it with a lawyer.

You need to start thinking like a team. Right now, you’re tweeting to pull one over on her. Therapy gets recommended a lot on this board, but in this case it’s warranted. WHY, in the name of all things holy, do you think it’s appropriate to hide $1 million from the women you think you love? That’s really, really messed up. Or you’re a troll. If this is real, you need help.[/quote]

OP here.  Why would my wife need to know about my financial situation, aside from I am neither in debt nor gambling?  I make 400K/yr, and she makes 100k/yr.  I always wanted to give 1M to my parents because they adopted me from China when I was two years old.  They did not have a lot of money when they adopted me, and gave me every opportunity to succeed.  Would that make any difference if I gave my parents that 1M before I met my wife to be vs. after I met my wife to be?  [/quote]

You have every right to do what you want with your money. But to keep things above board, tell your fiance what you are doing (not ask or consult or other BS pepole are talking about here) and set that $1M aside. If that's not possible, do a pre-nup to take care of pre-marital assets (both of yours). Once you get married, the 400K you make is marital and shared. If she reacts negatively to this, she's not the right one for you or your family.[/quote]
