Would you entrust your partner with a million dollars?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Not being one that puts all his eggs in one basket, I have entrusted my wife with a fund for our children, although it's a bit more than a million.

I trust her and although she wasn't exactly thrilled at first, she accepted the responsability.

[RavVid]

In my experience, if you leave your wallet with a woman, there will be a bit less when you get it back. Oh there will really good reasons on why it benefits you and how she only did it for you etc etc.

One girlfriend made it quite clear that not only would she spend everything she earn't but everything I earn't if I wasn't careful. Indeed her friend was telling her I was being selfish for putting a lump into superannuation and recommended I should pay the top 50% tax on that money instead of 15%. Like hell I was going to do that.

I'm sure your wife will be trusty worthy on a fund for your children.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Damn, I hope you got out quick from that girlfriend.

Yes, I wouldn't have given her such a sum if I didn't trust her, plus she can't spend a dime without having to account for it.

[RavVid]

I was longer than I should have been but that was then end of it. Initially she was quite fair on costs which I liked and appreciated but it slowly deteriorated.

I know from you have sad earlier that you have a good woman. My story was mostly to show you how unusual that is.

[BoopBoopBeep]

She's horrible with money, so depends on how you mean entrust. She has power of attorney over my stuff while I'm deployed, but she knows better than to think it's "her" money. Also if we were exfilling and I needed her to just grab a box of cash, I'd trust her with that because she knows it's for something important.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

She may be bad with money, but it still seems she's trustworthy, and I think that's the important part.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Yeah she knows not to F with instructions when it comes down to something bad happening and needing decisive action. We met while deployed together and she's pieced together much of what I did for a living to know what's what.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I understand.
My wife is kind of the opposite - she's a bit of a scrooge even though we are quite wealthy. Not something I can complain about though, although I do like living it up.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I think as long as it's within reason, in some ways it's better when you have two people with different outlooks. I probably spend more than I used to and she saves more than she used to, but I can't take it with me... so... you know...

[WiccanLady2023]

I come from an affluent British & European family - business owners, land owners, etc.

I own my own business & play around on GAG when the day's dull.

Between my inheritance & business I have quite a bit more than a million.

Would I trust him? Of course.

When someone in a "relationship" (so not a fling, friends with benefits, etc) can't trust their partner with money, WHY are they involved with that person?

Money is the BASICS of a family lifestyle. If you can't trust your partner with such a simple thing then there's little to no trust & you're wasting time. That simple.

[LazerBean]

I handle all the finances in our marriage, but I know I could trust him if we ever needed to change that.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I didn't mean to snoop on your profile, but I have to say you and your husband look like a really good couple.

[LazerBean]

Lol thank you. We started working out again so hopefully we will just keep looking better

[OlderAndWiser]

No. She is a bit naive and I trust her to be a nice lady, but I wouldn’t trust her with big sums of money.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

That's also a good factor to consider - if she's not money-savvy.

[Unit1]

Then why marry if you don't trust her with big sums of money?

[WiccanLady2023]

@Sun_Kim-Ai - anyone can be savvy with money. In western society teenagers work in gas stations, etc. and can at the end of the day be in charge of large sums of money. When someone says that another person isn't "money savvy" it just means they're too lazy to teach that person how to be

[OlderAndWiser]

@Unit1 As long as I'm around, I'll be overseeing the money.

[midnightmoon05]

@OlderAndWiser wise choice.
That’s call good partnership.
We all have strength and weakness…the best is being able to balance out as a team.

[TrueConfection]

My husband wouldn't steal the money and run, but he's not very financially savvy. That's too much money to lose.

[Sonorous]

If I actually had a partner, I'd trust them with a lot more.

[Apple1996]

Yess my mam is responsible with money so I'd trust him with any amount

[Confused_About_Girls]

I don’t know your wife. I can’t judge her character. I can’t judge if she truly has the best interest of the children in mind.


I can tell you this, if she was the type to take the money and run, it would take a very, very sly, conniving wife and mother to earn that trust. I wouldn’t trust her with it right away. We would need to be married long enough.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I trust her wholeheartedly, I know her since she was my tutor in school.

[exitseven]

I have joint accounts with my wife on everything. I guess she could raid all the accounts while I am at work and be gone before I got home. If you count them all there must be a million dollars in there

[Killsey]

Yes, it takes a lot to have me call you my Partner. A partner in crime, a partner for life. If you made it that far, I can entrust my life to you.

[ventustalks]

I would give him my bank accounts, my hidden dollars and everything else I have. If I'm not gonna trust him, then who is left?

[EmmaMary]

As I fully entrust my husband with my life, then a million dollars would be nothing other than "small change"!

[jamesgoldman]

Single these days but my exes

My first absolutely no doubt

My second yeah but she did like Chanel and Cartier so probably put some restriction in place

[lightbulb27]

yes, she'd enjoy it and invest it into income producing properties.

[NathanDavis]

at a point, I trusted her with my entire business

it was never an issue, lol

[B0nerD0nor]

Yes my wife is very financially focused and has no issue managing millions of dollars in all of our accounts.

[ariadneR]

Definitely. He manages his money really well, better than me!

[midnightmoon05]

I would and I have.
we work well and have set aside extra funds for kids education and more. Our financial bases are covered.

[gothbxtch]

if you wouldn’t, that doesn’t sound like a good relationship

[sheenagwapa]

if i have that money and let's say needed the money for legit reason i alwsys will but since i have no partner so if it's my ex i will also

[John_Doesnt]

There is not a single young person under the age of 30 who can handle $1 million responsibly. They're gonna be in debt and on drugs in a month.

[JackCarter]

Yep! Even if it's a million!

[JackCarter]

Billion *

[slatyb]

I do every day. Our net worth is over $1 million, and if I died she would get it all.
