I own my own small business. Its very simple, and I get paid in personal checks each week. My wife has always wanted to be in charge of our finances, so she has been doing the deposits for my business. I give her the checks and and cash, she logs them on the computer and then deposits them in my business account.
I went to the bank this week and confirmed that she has not been siphoning any money....yet.
I told her that I had decided to handle my own business, and I would be making my own deposits from now on. I tried to make it clear there was no threat involved, and I was simply wanted to focus on my business more.
she wasn't happy
Even though mostly everyone has said to sever our finances completely, I'm somehow unsure. On one hand it will send a strong signal that I am moving on, but I'm also thinking about what is the "right thing to do" for the family.
Since I'm so divided, I've been waiting till I have some clarity, but maybe I never will.We only have a small amount of savings, since we spent most of it last spring on a house renovation, so I'm not sure I'm risking a lot.
Since W has access to all accounts and credit cards, I would have to close my business account, and open another one (at another bank I presume). C thinks this is too threatening a move. I don't know.
