Hello friends, happy new week. I wish you an amazing week ahead.
It's another week as we all know a new edition of @ladiesofhive prompt.
All thanks to @merit.ahama for these wonderful topics.
You see this word "money" . It's more than just a currency or paper used for exchange. Money has caused many relationships, friendship to fail just because both parties fail to manage their finances.
In marriage one of the key factors is communication and transparency. For me it is okay for your spouse to know how much you earn and every detail of your finances. On the other hand, I have heard stories of marriages where the man asks the woman to stop work just because she earns more than him or jealous because the woman is wealthier and he doesn't want disrespect from her. I think that attitude is very childish .
That's why it is important to talk about finance even when in courtship before marriage. Well a man shouldn't see that as a threat but help and the woman shouldn't see that as a way to be disrespectful.
My opinion about sharing finance with a partner is that it is right. In marriage nothing should be a secret or hidden from your partner. I can tell him how much I earn and we both set a financial plan for the family which includes the children too. Keeping some money for personal use too it's not bad at least should be among the plan.
What I don't really advise is a joint account.
Joint account is an account that's owned by the husband and wife where anyone can deposit and withdraw. In some cases you need the signature of both persons. Well having a personal account is the best for me but then my partner can get every details of amount, pin to my card and even access to the account.
This answers the question is it — or is it not — right to share the details of your finances with your spouse?
Do well to join the contest and invite your friends
