$$$ situations :-(

[saffie]

Hey ROOT this will come across as a bit flippant....but you know me by now. As far as I am concerned what's his is mine.....and what's mine is my own. My H brings in the $$$$$$ and that's always been our deal....even when I worked full time pre kids and earned more than him.

So I think I am a bit strange in my view on the whole money thing.

That aside - I do have full access to all the money and for tax purposes we spread it in the most efficient way....but then tax consultancy is my career. We have joint accounts and I have accounts in just my name too. He has no accounts in just his sole name.

We are lucky not to have been in the position where we have inherited any large sums yet as those nearest and dearest to us are still alive...but I have always assumed we would discuss what we would do jointly with any significant inheritance we receive.
