I do agree, though, how important it is for both parties to know what the financial situation. I've heard this story way too often, where the partner who handles all the money dies and the other doesn't have a grasp on the financial situation. While it's definitely OK for one person to manage finances, I think it's important to have occasional family meetings where you go over the big picture stuff. While it's scary to think of what might happen, it's always better to be on the safe side.

I'm glad you liked the article. It's been a lot harder this last couple of weeks because of her death, and the ancillary discussions/issues that have come up. That's one of the reasons I haven't been writing as much, just lost some steam. @Gary, Thanks. I’m glad you liked the article.

I have been the primary money person over the last few years to the point where she didn't know what bills, debts, assets or anything we had. We are making a dedicated effort to make sure that we both know what we have and how it gets paid. This is a great article, my wife and I were having the same conversation a few weeks ago.
