I will start As for me I would want my wife to know how much earn/income? If I would disclose only 70% as my salary so that she won't start monitoring how I spend my cash or let say she's demanding and I said I don't much and she will be like what are u using ur money to do lool, I think if ur wife knows aw much u earn in total she want to start demanding for more, he's has money give me lool This would give room for transperancy I guess and in order not exceed budget limit and we can also plan together. |

I don't see any reason why I should tell my wife I much I earn. I wouldn't wanna lie to her nor pose a half truth lest she starts to monitor me and make some selfish demands. I would rather leave it the way it currently is. |

It starts from the foundation, from those saying if their wives know what they are earning, their wives would start making unneessary demands, does that mean you dont know or trust what your wife can do , why did you marry a woman you cant be opened to? Why did you marry a woman that is not prudent? If your wife see this your comment, will she be happy with you. A wise man builds his house on a rock, while the fools do not. Most things that you men do is part of why your wives may be behaving the way they do. If you decide not to let your wife know how much you earn, and your wife also decide such, how will you describe your marriage. To me personally, being completely opened to each other will save you a lot of stress and accrue so many advantages to you and doing otherwise certainly means you people are not in total unity. A wise man will even make his wife the custodian of his money, (that is if they aint operating joing account and joint spending), so that, the wife will already know the capacity and financial capability of the man, thus, preventing unnecessary demands. However, to we ladies, please, let our impact be felt at home, let's put ourselves in the situation where our husbands will trust us, making unnecessary demands when we know that our men are financially bouyant will not let them trust us, and asking a full grown up man what he used his money for when our demands are not meant is completely unnecessary. Money is one of the major causes of conflict in a marriage, and if it is handled very well, it can be one of the causes of joy in a marriage. You work, i work, no one should be a burden on anyone, my opinion, please. May God help us all. 6 Likes |

When the man (who incidentally is meant to be the head of his household), chooses to walk the path of lies and deceit by hiding his true earnings from his wife, he too shouldn't complain if she decides to do likewise...or start stashing away for a rainy day. He shouldn't complain if she secretly builds a house behind his back because he's already built the foundation of their union on secrecy, lies and deceit. It works both ways. 1 Like |

Of course, I know how much my husband collects, I know the date its being paid, we both invest and plan around it, why should he hide anything from me, I even encourage him 2 invest, a good wife would be interested in the progress of his husband and the family, I don't see anything bad in showing ur wife ur payslip. |

Re: Do You Let Your Wife Know How Much You Earn Or Income? by Nobody: 10:39pm On Dec 06, 2013 |
^^^ Less demand from you or her? I'm sure you meant from you |
Re: Do You Let Your Wife Know How Much You Earn Or Income? by Nobody: 12:00am On Dec 07, 2013 |
Chillisauce: ^^^ Less demand from you or her? I'm sure you meant from you I meant lesser demand from her. I would take care of her and do my responsibility So I'm not expecting her to be less demanding atleast she getting bigger pay, it would cut cost for me and if she's willing to contribute I mean family expenses fine but if not I wouldn't be bothered as long as I'm capable... |

I know the salary at the start of the job but I don't keep up with the raises or promotions as the years gone by I have too much to deal with than bother to know exactly what he earns He does some work on the side and makes small change here and there,how will I know his total income I have a general idea sha This is no big deal As long as we are taken care of,what's my own It's when I see the tax papers at the end of the tax year that I know exactly what we made for the year |

For those that said they wouldn't let their wives no how much they earn, probably cos you earn more than your wife. Let me ask the men this question, what if your wife earns more than you; would you hide your salary frm her? + would you love it if she hides how much she earns? |
Re: Do You Let Your Wife Know How Much You Earn Or Income? by EfemenaXY: 1:22pm On Dec 08, 2013 |
faakay: I don't expect you to support me on this but to be aware that it can happen. And yes, you won't support it because it hurts when the shoe's on the other foot, doesn't it? Talk about dishing out the pills but not being able to swallow your own medicine. |

It's really no big deal if your wife knows how much you earn. my wife knows every kobo that comes in. Unfortunately, I was never good at saving but she's the expert at planning and saving. I would always go with my guts and buy things, but with her help, I am much better at the planning and saving stuff. I also thought that borrowing was the only way I could get projects done. but with her involved in my finances, I've actually achieved more projects, and I'm actually debt free now. she truly is a blessing. if you have a blessing like that, there's no need to keep anything from her. Afterall, she's the reason why I wake up at 6am and come back in at 8pm mon-fri. 2 Likes |

How will you marry someone you can't trust with everything in the first place? For marrying a lady you can't or don't trust shows that you already planned your home for failure from the beginning. The marriage is dead on arrival. If you can't trust your own good judgement before marrying someone, why would you marry in the first place? No matter what, truth will always prevail over lies and darkness. That being said, I took my time before settling for my wife, I knew the decision to marry involves being opened about everything including money. She knows how much I earn and not only that, she has knows all my ATM pins. I did not marry a devil, why hide something from her? 2 Likes |
