This came to my amusement when I asked someone if he knows how much his partner is earning and to my surprise he said they don't disclose it to each other ( Can't really understand what led to the conversation )

How do you see this, do you think it is right for your partner not to know how much you earn as salary ??


WRONG.

How do they plan? Betterto be open to each other. (Good)Women are better financial managers than men.

Since i started saving money in my wife's accout, my savings has increased by 40% monthly.

Being Transparent with your partner is the best to avoids financial quarrels.

Different stroked for different folks sha. For me I don't think it's right but if your partner is extravagant, Abeg hide the real amount.

Very wrong bt then it all depends on how truthworthy ur partner is
Re: Couples Hiding Their Earnings From Each Other, Right Or Wrong? by Originalsly: 4:25am On Dec 02, 2017
Neither right nor wrong. ... if the wife is a spendthrift. ..the husband should never ever let her know his salary/earnings or she would be hell bent on buying stuff based on the salary. But if she is one of the women that can really manage money...good at saving ....and the husband is a gambler, big spender, loose with his money ..then he should not only let her know bUT give her his entire paycheck and let her control it.

Every marriage should be built on trust,very important. I know how much my husband earns, when he got a new job he shows me his employment letter. I have my business too. I'm not interested in his money. The trust we have for each other has helped our family so far. He does his responsibility as a husband and father. Whenever his finance down, he finds it so difficult to approach me for money but I always beg him to collect from me,after so much persuasion he stills return when his financial buoyant . When we go for shopping, I make payment at times but his not always comfortable with it. He believes his the head of the family but to me we are to help and support each other. I bless the day, I met that man.
May the almighty God sustain your marriage

A wife must never know what her husband earns or his source of income.
It is none of her business, her job is just to enjoy the wealth and make babies for the man, that's why they are called 'oriaku'.

But a woman's income must be known,
It's source well defined;
Before you unknowingly start eating food cooked from money gotten through prostitution.
I regard this comment... grin

Well...comme ci comme ca, but still yet I don't support full disclosure.

If you earn, let's say...100k per month, you could disclose 70% and keep the remaining 30% in your egg's nest, or treasure trove if you like. cheesy

Finally, its wrong.

At least thats what a married man advised me. As a banker, I told him never to reveal his pin to anyone and I stressed the "anyone".

Well he spoke to my soul, my brother, when you are married, its not good to hide your money from you spouse, be open to each other.
