that used to be standard advice to wives, redhelen, back in the days when they could be divorced without a penny by a husband who was the only earner. It's probably not bad advice even now for people to manage their own wealth; but divorce settlements are rather fairer nowadays.

I don't have enough money to stash any away.

[EvianBaby]

I don't have anyone to keep one hidden from :(

But I would if I could - and put his money in it :)

[maggiebee]

Three friends and I had what we called our "slush funds". If any of us needed money urgently we could borrow from a friend no questions asked.

Dunno about bank accounts, but virtually all the 'attached' women I know have some "running away money" (their words not mine) stashed away somewhere ... but the blokes don't seem to ...

? discuss ?

[ummmm]

Men don't think that far forward...

[daffy654]

Men tend to 'live in the present', whereas women like to plan ahead.

When I was married to the first Mr Craft I had my own account...........and he had a joint account :-)

My late MIL had her own account. Caused no end of probelms for my FIL.
They had a joint account for household stuff and so on.
In the early days of our marriage I tried to plant a fiver each week but it always ended up being used for petrol or bus fares.

I have a 'Semi Secret' account, specifically for my horse racing/football betting.
Mrs. light knows I have it, but she doesn't know how much is in it.
There's never too much in anyway, 'cos if I do manage to have a sizeable win, I put it towards our next holiday.

As a financial adviser, I am supposed to find out everything about a client. I remember a Texan trophy wife married to an ugly old Brit in expensive Surrey who told me about her £50,000 flip-off fund for when he got bored. (It wasn't really flip).

[mrsmaveric]
