[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Agree. I’m a lawyer and I “bean count” because I have a lot more assets. Haven’t ever had to use my “separate property” argument, but I have it if need be. FWIW, using your reasoning, no one with a prenup would never work out, either. [/quote] I am a lawyer, and make anywhere from 6-8 times what my wife does, depending on the year. Ours all goes into one big pot. We live together, are going to retire together, send out kids to school together, etc. It makes sense to have a unified financial strategy - asset allocation, timing of different investments, etc. "I have more assets" is not a reason, in and of itself to "bean count." I'm not saying you're doing something wrong - every couple should do what works for them. But I have more = necessarily bean counting is incorrect; there are other reasons you do that. [/quote]
