[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I change détails (age of kids, my own age, historical details etc …) that are not relevant to the points I am making or info I am sharing but I never lie about the numbers. My memory may be off sometime but if so it is not by a lot and never intentional.

The biggest « fib » I have ever made on that forum was to present the situation under the angle of the other party, so that I would get answers more likely to help me understand the reasoning or the advice the other party would get (for ex. My parents, my MIl, my employee, my DH, my future adult children etc…). But in those cases I still don’t lie about the facts and present the intentions as best as I can [/quote]

Me too. My husband's family (NW > $50M) has a lot of money and as his parents age, a lot of money issues. Sometimes I ask questions as if I'm discussing my parent's finances instead of my IL's to avoid the comments like "honey, it's not your money... he could divorce you tomorrow" or "Why do you care? Let your husband decide!" Like I have zero agency and shouldn't care about anything. And FWIW, I work and we about the same amount of money. We have financial advisors, but I mostly manage our money.[/quote]
