Every couple manages money differently.. I don’t think I can tell you what to do. My husband and I have a joint account. We put the salary in there, and we spend from there. We didn’t bother closing our individual accounts, but everything is transparent, because we plan to be together for life. But that’s us.
Everyone has their own ways in doing stuff, so please don’t see yourself as a bad wife. I know you’re just doing it for the sake of your child! As for me, we are transparent with our savings. But yes, my husband is definitely more spendthrift than I am. But the line is drawn, and he budgets it out well.
I didnt really show my savings to my husband. To me its like my personal saving and didnt find the need to disclose everything to him. Each of us should have our own personal things that we do not need to disclose. However if he didnt have enough i will confirm help him out.
While everyone manages money differently, me and hubby do not have any joint account, but we share and update our figures in a excel sheet transparently for monthly review. As we hope to grow our networth together
Yea agree with others that every couple has different ways in managing their finances. Do what you feel you’re comfortable with :)
Just keep it this way. No need for him to know everything. Keep that aside as reserves for you and your child for a rainy day.
Just keep this way. Otherwise open another account to keep the rest to put him at ease. I am like tis too.
it’s really okay not to share your savings with husband.
Yes it’s ok
