    I have a deal with my local gun shop. If I give them a gun on consignment I am going to use all the money to buy another firearm. I had some pistols and a revolver to sell. The pistol was used by my ma in law till she passed away. I had given it to her. I sold some That I was not using I had an RRA Baby.380 for some reason my messed up hand couldn't activate the grip safety. and some others. They usually charge a small percentage of the sale. However, my deal was that if you sell it I spend 100% of the money at the shop to purchase another firearm. It gives them the incentive to get good price also.

    When I met my wife she had a decent amount of money & her parents thought I was after it. So we have kept our money seperate too. It has worked outmode to my advantage then it ever did for her.

    We tried a joint account once, we agreed that she would manage the money.

    That went terribly sideways...separate accounts keeps the peace for us

    Iv got two girls, 18 and 20. They are both in college, the youngest one is a sophomore credit wise even though she doesn't graduate HS till June. At that time she will be 2 years short of a degree. Her and her older sister may graduate together

    Bragging off.

    Me and their mom had goals of getting them to adults off drugs and not knocked up by some loser. Success! Hopefully in college or military with at least a plan. Success!

    The last few years we have been telling them to not ever set them selves up dependent on a marriage or man living week to week and not able to get out on their own if needed. Keep your money seperate and finances/credit seperate as much as possible. Keep a lump sum as a parachute if you want that he doesnt know about.
    If that causes butthurt in a guy then hes probably not the guy for you. The oldest will probably marry her boyfriend of 3 years but not till after college. The youngest has already kick a few to the curb why tried to control her. I'm sure they will be just fine.

    Weve told them to learn from our lessons/mistakes.
    My wife's first husband cleaned out all their joint accounts before he got caught cheating. He also got a huge second mortgage on 2 bed duplex just before he left. That money disappeared too. My first wife had a first husband who had shit credit which left her the same so I bought our house alone as sole and seperate property for 85 grand. When we got divorced I gave it to her so the kids would be stable till they graduated HS. The payment was cheap. No big deal. She agreed. Stay in it till they graduated HS and college if they stayed local and its hers.

    Well 8 years later the house is worth over 250 grand. It was a big house on a nearly 1 acre lot in Phoenix i bought cheap cause the owners were moving out of state and several previous contracts fell through.

    Anyways that bitch quit claimed/assumed it to one of my cousins for 15 grand. She had a soon to be 3rd ex husband who didnt want to live in another mans house. Punk. I didnt know till later. I mean people were in bidding wars over property like this and 250 grand was a starting point. She could have bought a home free n clear and still had college for the kids in the bank. I would have gladly agreed to let her sell it as long as she used the money to buy a new home for the kids. In AZ if your not a party to divorce you cant be forced to follow the decree so my only recourse would be to sue her. For what?

    Anyways keeping shit seperate is the way to go. At least till you have a decade or so till you know if things are gonna last.

    Me and the wife just started working on our 3rd decade. 21 years and too old to quit too young to die so were stuck together. Its not exactly prison time were doing. Lol.

    A married couple SHOULD be able to do the joint account thing, but they should be able to agree to "extras" that they individually want. This is my personal opinion being on my second and last marriage. Work together to budget what to spend or save for. Discipline.

    Ya we have slowly ended up with finances together. You cant help some of that over so long with houses and kids.

    My wife is the one who works now since I'm disabled. It's her money except for disability from my previous employer/state. We have joint accounts and separate accounts. I pay the Bill's and handle budgets and she buys what ever she wants since it's her money. Since I do the books I'm never without money to get stuff I want.

    It works fine. Still in the beginning we kept everything seperate. It protects you. With out kids and family there is no reason to do otherwise.

    I just buy what I want. I'm the boss.

    With her permission of course. Kinda like the guy on his wedding night. He explained how he was the boss and things would be done his way. She slipped out of her petite panties and handed them to him and told him to put them on. He said I can't get in those. Her reply, "And you won't either until your attitude changes" as she put them back on.

    Not all of us are pussy whooped! When my wife slipped out of her petite panties on our wedding night I slipped them over my head & went to poking & stroking! Her permission has never been an issue. One year I spent the whole month of our anniversary in Africa hunting. No permission once again! I did bring back a nice carved ivory bracelet for her.

    Even though our finances are separate, there are some purchases she makes, or I make, that we'll question.
    Especially if a certain someone needs a float on their share of the mortgage...

    A few years back, I had a custom Glock 10 made for her.
    Ever since then, she doesn't raise an eyebrow over my gun/hobby purchases.

    I guess the bottom line is you dont stay married longer than a few years unless you can work shit out.

    I dont hold high Hope's for many long term relationships from the last couple generations. You have two whole generations of people that grew up in the participation trophy everyone is special right to not be offended era. They cant excell at work or play well with others and think they "deserve" a job or living wage or free shit.

    Like the man said, "deserves got nothing to do with it".

    My sisters kids are proof of this. She was divorced right after the younget was born. Her 3 kids grew up somewhat dysfunctional. The oldest daughter has 4 kids with 3 different guys. The youngest a boy has 5 kids & has been married 3 times & is divorced living with #4.

    The middle daughter married a Marine & has 5 kids all with him & they are still married.

    The trick really is to find someone who views money, spending, rearing children, etc. similarly. I didn't have them for long, but I remember my parents fought over only one thing - money. I vowed as a 4 year old to never do that, and to date I never have. If my wife sets her heart on something, I'm going to figure out how to make it happen. She does the same for me.
