Wives should know our much their husbands are getting or at least have a general idea so they dont over strain their husbands pockets. Thats my opinion anywaysmiley

I just wonder what the case wud be like if one happened to have a greedy wife. Dont you think she'd be thinking of what fraction of your earnings to be spent on her while she plans to keep hers?

I disclose my earnings to my husband and he does the same to me. We have a joint account that is for the house and we both contribute 50 percent since both of us are employed.

Anytime a spouse hides their finances...it is fishy and shady!

I am not married yet, but sure i will disclose it. That shouldn't be a secret

Mrs chima,that aspect of you both contributing is amazing. I wonder how many women would allow that and still not feel that authority be shared between the two of them in the house.

Why not? They will eventually find out anyway. The question should have been "Should there be a joint account"? In this case, my answer is a NO!

Well, it's a good thing to know each others pocket so u can both know your limits......cos if my husband no tell me his earnings, I will keep demanding as much as I can cos I will believe he has enough but if he does the whatever he has and I also have we will budget on it......if he decides not to tell me.....I also won't disclose my earnings ....... grin

Re: Is It Proper To Disclose Your Earnings To Your Wife? by pingo(m): 2:37pm On Oct 13, 2012
Disclosure is ok! but giving her access to it is something that should be given a second, third and forth thought to!
Re: Is It Proper To Disclose Your Earnings To Your Wife? by Nobody: 2:42pm On Oct 13, 2012

And how is that?

it's only easy to know how much you earn if you are salaried.

I think its a good idea when married, but my question is what of when dating??
Re: Is It Proper To Disclose Your Earnings To Your Wife? by ikdpal(m): 2:44pm On Oct 13, 2012
i doubt a man can sincerely disclose his real earnings because of the nature of a woman...man has multitude of issues to commit his money to which may not allow a kind of peace when a woman discover such expences, so a man violets this idea to ensure he meet up with this responsibilities.

In as much as I will love her to know, but I sometimes dont know how much I make since am in business. No fixed income. So whoever that woman is, when the time comes, she will need to bear with me.
