[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Do people honestly look at inheretences drastically differently than other resources coming in? [/b]Maybe it's because of the size of some of these inheretences? Is there a level at which you think it should be treated drastically differently than say a big bonus or something that one spouse gets?

[b]I can't imagine that my spouse would consider any earned income to be their purview if you have mixed finances.[/b] I even come from the old school line of women with few options who all sort of secretly hid a little money from time to time , so I know about needing to stand on your feet. But I feel like what we are talking about here are couples where both are capable of standing on their own anyway[/quote]

Yes, I do look at inheritances drastically differently from other resources. An inheritance is not “earned income” - it is money that one’s parents earned and saved over their lives, and then left to their child.  It has emotional meaning that earned income will never have.

Not at all the same as earned income.[/quote]
