This bonus thing is going to be a very big deal in the house. She knows it is comming and want to clear up as much debt as possible.
How about this.....
This bonus.....I remember reading it was a bonus from YOUR job ? Correct ?
Your income supports the household.
What if.....you would propose that you take your bonus and divide it three ways. Put it into three accounts, one for each of your children's education down the road....
That would take it out of your hands and her hands and put it toward the betterment of your childrens future.
The reality is, down the road, in two households, the money for the children's education would be significantly overlooked. This way, something is on place....
I wouldn't do it without having that conversation though....
You would have to find a balance in bringin that up, chances are though.....an MLCer can smell money from two states away.
And SHE will come lookin for you about it....
These relationship talks......they are all not bad....only the ones YOU initiate...
When your MLCer brings them up though.....you better shine through them .
