/biz/ - Business & Finance

I let my wife handle all of the finances but I keep an eye on it from time to time. I gave her a document of all my financial principles and told her to make it happen.

I pretty much said that we need to build out various accounts and distribute funds according to the hierarchy I setup.

She is 100% responsible every time I get paid to move money accordingly.

I told her that these funds need to be filled to create a general purpose stress free life for us as we move forward with saving more.

I also told her she can get whatever she wants after the money is distributed, but if there isn't food on that table for our family then that's on her to fix it.

This only stems from seeing what a successful old couple was capable of when she was in charge of financials and he worked. I'm taking a page from their book and it's giving her better financial understanding to the same degree that I have.

We don't live above our means. We don't buy new fancy cars. We get what we need and save the rest.

We have 1 debt, and that's the mortgage. Nothing else.
