[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. [b]It's not retirement or college account.[/b] 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. All this time that money was there.[/b]  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]
1. "It's not a retirement or college account" - The account can be used for retirement or college. It might not be designated as such but it can still be used for those purposes.
2. "All this time that money was there" - If you have been able to pay for the necessities plus activities, clothing, etc. then why does it matter if the money was there. That's probably the reason why he didn't mention it. You have been able to get by with your current income so why touch the long-term money that he has invested?

Sounds like your husband is doing a good job. He should've told you about the account, and designated you as the beneficiary but I can understand why he didn't tell you about it up until now.[/quote]
