Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

actually he is not allowing to open a account for me..

I see you have "Dubai" listed as your location and I'm not familiar with the laws there. Are you not able to walk into a bank and open an account by yourself? Do the banks there require you to have your husband's permission in order to open an account?

My mom used to do some secret saving, like from monthly expenses - she used to secretly put some money aside. I remember that when my older sister was getting married, my dad was little worried about the expenses. That is when my mom said that dont worry and gave him 1 lakh rupees that she saved over few years. My dad was so grateful to my mom. I remember he was extremely emotional and happy and that day.

That is just soo sweet of her! I would have spent it all on myself

If your hubby has money to spend and he is not under any genuine financial hardship, sure by all means spend it on yourself. If your household is financially stable then even if he is the only breadwinner, you get the credit too, so nothing wrong in rewarding yourself a little.

I think the majority of couples act like one financial unit (pool income, share costs), but this isn't set in stone. You decide what to do with your money. It's entirely your decision whether you hide the money or reveal it, don't let societal expectations sway you.

Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

salam... i want to ask that "do u hide money from ur husband?" or should wife hide money from husbnd? i have my own personal money so shuld i hide money from him...i didnt tell him abt dat..im thinking to give it to my mom to save that money...wat i do :@:

no husband and wife shouldn't hide money from each other. its your money you dont need to official tell him that you have that much money and this is not called hiding it. if at a point he needs more money or your house needs it then you can simple say i have some money from my savings etc etc. the best would be to open a basic bank account (you dont need your husband to have a bank account opened-as far as i know you can simply go into any bank and open a basic, saver etc bank account). this way you will know that your money is safe and that you can access it at anytime.

if you want to keep it with your mom thats fine too but think about what if you urgently need money and your mom in out of town etc. so best would be to open a bank account and put all the money there. you dont need your hubby's permission to open an account. just go in and open it.

Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

well i think all she meant was, if she hides it from hubby is she doing something wrong? I think No! its ur money u can save it, keep it, use it!
As long as ur husband is providing everything, u may keep ur money saved for future, u might need it later...

Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

Hiding money? What kinda relationship is that?

If it is her money why hide it? It is yours and he can't tough it.

Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

My mom doesnt hide money from my dad but she does save money for rainy days and family expenses that come up. Things my dad might not have planned for or thought of. So, technically she isnt hiding...just thinking ahead.

@sanadubai

actually he is not allowing to open a account for me..so i already kept my money in his account..h

You need to seek permission from him to open an account?

You do realize that you can simply go to the bank on your own..and open up your own account, right?

You could decide to put a certain amount of your money in his account…and set aside a portion for your own personal use.

If you’re working…then you can decide that some of your paycheck will go into an account shared by the both of you…and some of it goes into your own personal account.

:sigh:

Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

Depends where you hide.
'Hide' it in his wallet. ;)

What TLK said is actually 'saving' money for a better cause. Not 'hiding'. Something wise women do.

Re: should wife hide money from husbnd?

Why do you want to hide money from him? Does he spend it on wrong things or lets say lavishly? If not, then there no need to. But on the other hand , you can ‘save’ money for hard times…‘hiding’ money from your spouse just doesn’t sound right and especially when you are planning to spend your hidden money on make-up and kapray shapray
