I don't feel the need to tell him about every single purchase but all our accounts are joint so he knows about them all and believe me there are plenty lol. I really enjoy shopping.

I could be funneling money to a dozen accounts in the Grand Caymens if I wanted too- but I don't. Instead we have this black hole- called children- that sucks most of our money away.
No your not..Kelinas|1372166955|3471977 said:yes.
i have a secret account.
In it, used to be my jewelry fund (when I was in Korea)
now it has about 6 months worth of mortgage just in case, and enough for me to go back to Korea if an emergency rises.
I don't find having an account that my husband doesn't know about deceitful.
then again, I married my dh with a prenup in order, and we both keep separate accounts, so I may be the odd one out here.

Exactly...I don't wanna beg my wife for $$$...
What if she kicks me out of the house or if I wanted to buy a guy toy?momhappy|1372273570|3472752 said:No. We have joint accounts for the most part. I think one of our savings accounts might be in his name, but I do the banking/bill-paying, so I have access to everything. I guess that for me, I don't see the point in having separate accounts? We both make purchases, but typically, anything around $300 or more, we would discuss with each other
Nahhh,not really, b/c she knows where it is.. but neither one of us have any idea of the balance in each other's accounts... We have been married for 26 yrs now and we avoid the money topic as much as we can, b/c money and affairs are the two main reasons leading to a divorce.monarch64|1372317955|3473074 said:DF, do YOU have a secret stash box????
