Poll Funding the addiction

[Rubmegood]

If your are Married or Common Law. Legally there is NO "

So if you have a private secret account its half his or hers

OK- Now you're opening another whole can of worms! Nobody was talking legalities, here!

Imho, most of the posts are about how to channel some funds out of the view of a significant other. The assumption is that there are plenty of funds, aka cash flow. I think younger guys need to focus on channelling 10, 15, 20 percent of their income into investments such as stocks of serious companies (not the hyped junk). In 15 years there will be plenty of funds for playtime. Skip the get rich quick nonsense approach. Avoid wasting unnecessary funds in this hobby until you already have plenty.

What your saying is sound advice. It's always a great idea to save for the future.
But the problem is power dynamics in a relationship aren't always equal. And often the woman is the Boss. Take for example My Brother...He might be the most whipped guy I know lol. He makes well over 100k a year. And yet needs his wifes permission to buy a $80 video game. But he has managed to stay married for 15 years. But he litterally is sneaking video games into the house hoping not to get caught lol.
I'm not married so I don't have these problems. It's more of a observation. But a lot of my buddy's hide money from thier wives with hobbies.
My one friend buys and restores old bicycles. He was telling me that he's been able to squirl away at least a grand a month. And his wife lets him because it keeps him out of her hair.

Hey- Here's a great idea! You could smuggle in cheap ED drugs from some developing country and sell them to desperate shmucks here in Canada for twice what you pay for them!

That may not work out so well in that old fashioned household that you talked about before. Your wife will probably run the mail order business herself, and deposit all profits in that shared 'one' account after she has deducted her hair dresser fees and bought lunches for her day time boyfriends at the gym.

Even worse, the wife may be giving out half the inventory as free samples to all her gym boyfriends. Kiss the profits good bye unless you raise the prices to triple the cost.

And socking away money into long-term investments isn't "old fashioned"??

But that's what the young need to do instead of buying overpriced homes and have nothing left over to invest. The house as an investment is typical BS designed to help the banks and the real estate industry crooks. Invest early in stocks of diverse companies and enjoy the fruits later in life

LOL. I doubt I cured you as this is an issue that usually requires counselling.
I wouldn't even try. You are your wife's problem, not mine. I just feel sorry for her and others with cheaters for husbands. Hope they all get caught. That would be so funny.

Strange comment coming from a monger that always requests information from members here, be it they are single, attached or married! Here is a guy that would willingly sponge information on a SP on this forum but wishes ill will on anyone who may be attached or married. That is a definition of a hypocrite. I am single but date occasionally, so what category would that put me in? What do you think? It doesn't matter what you think!!!!
