Separate finances are an illusion.

[ThePenIsMightier]

I paid cash for my separate finances too, and I will again in 2 years when I replace the spouse.

Is this the time where I mention how silly it is to have separate finances from your spouse?

God damn this.

lol. What make a great (naive) husband.

What is yours is hers. What is hers is hers.

Marriage is the my fav asset class.

If your spouse doesn't make 600k, they are lazy and you are stupid.

If I were to do it again I'd probably be gay.

I'm pretty certain inheritance is excluded in a divorce, as long as you never mix it into shared finances. So by having separate accounts you can actually protect inheritances.

Inheritance is technically separate if you can manage it that way. The second you put that money into a shared asset then it becomes part of the marital finances.

People tend to forget that debt is also shared 50/50, so the condo debt/loss when separating would be factored into those calculations. So, yeah, separate finances are an illusion.

I think there was a thread on separate finances vs joined finances already in marriage. It's a really odd way to go in my opinion.

Are divorce rates still around 50%? They just seem to get messy af. I presume most don’t really want to share it.

Seems like most beyonders are still married and certainly hope it stays that way.

Any time of my my buddies misbehaves, I make sure my wife knows about it. Let her know that I'm not so bad in comparison.... Lol.

Sometimes... just sometimes of course, you regular Beyond posters sound like women anyways.

[killramos]

Didn’t a woman make you move to Columbus or some nonsense?

Back in your corner.

You rent out a condo?

I have in the past when I had my acreage, probably will in the future, still contemplating if I should take a $5k-$10k bath on it immediately or hold out for a spring bump.
Really it's a matter of cashflow, I don't want $10k to disappear out of my accounts while in university. Rental prices will easily cover my costs for a year so the mortgage costs me nothing. Very little downside to hodl currently.

Dubhead, I feel bad for you man, that's a tough spot to be in. I'm only at most $10k underwater, really a none issue besides absolutely hating losing money.
