[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have separate finances and split up who pays for what by category. I provided a large down payment for the house and he paid the mortgage. (Mortgage free for sometime now.) Where it really has mattered is in investments as neither of us is a spendthrift. Doing investments jointly would have been a nightmare. He is an immigrant who believes in real estate and bank accounts and doesn't trust the stock market. I believe in equities and don't want to be bothered with real estate. [b]Although we have made roughly the same amount over the years, my investments are worth double his.[/b][/quote] And therein lies the problem: they're not "yours" and "his." They're shared assets.[/quote]
