Hell yeah....Not chump change...I am about to get a very large bonus on a deal I have been working on for over a year and it is going right into my retirement and son's college account. DH will not see any of it. We don't co-mingle. I never see any of the bonuses he gets or when his dad sends him a check for his birthday. Why should he see mine. He will know the general amount, but no details unless necessary. Only one I have to disclose to is the acct and the taxes.

I'm not sure how to answer this, as we have not one joint account between us so I guess I keep ALL of my money from him.

Me too, its all mine and his is his...we have all the "joint" bills calculated and we split that 50/50 in a joint account, we each deposit like 1500 a month in the joint, what is left over is for us and our kids, I usually use it for home improvement projects and things for our home. God only know what DH is doing with his lmao, think he is still paying off medical bills for SD...

Yep I sure do! My husband is not a saver. He lets money burn a hole in his pocket. If I tell him we have 200$ in the bank, he will try and spend 199.99. My husband told me I could quit my job after we got married so Ive been a housewife for almost a year now; I used to use my money (serving) and put it in my account for buying extras like my gym membership and new clothes for me and SS. But now we just have his checks. Living from paycheck to paycheck is stressful for me so usually after payday I transfer money off the top into my account for savings/emergencies. At the most I had up to $1500. Its not that he doesn't know about it, he just isn't aware of how much I keep in there. I have already bought SS3's christmas gifts and some baby things like bottles with some of what Ive been saving and then I spent about a third of it paying for all my doctor's medical fees and bills until I go into labor.

This is one of my guilty pleasures. I tend to over do things when I comes to my granchildren. I have direct deposit, I recently opened a private account and direct deposit $100.00 a month to pay the financing charge on a bedroom set my daughter ordered for him. Once his ends in February, I'll be getting one for my granddaughter.

My husband had been very supportive over the years, however, he believes this is something my daughter and hubby should do on their own

When I was married to my ex but getting ready to leave the marriage, he had a wreck and totaled yet another car - the third. It was a beautiful Buick with all the trimmings - used, but mine. We got an insurance settlement for it and then bought another vehicle, and I made him put it in his name only. A couple of months before I left, we got another check from the insurance company, about $1,300. They had miscalculated the value of the vehicle and was making up for what they hadn't paid us. Since ex thought that we had been paid, I forged his name and put it into my get-away secret account. He never knew about it.
