The key to harmony over couple finances is to avoid the horror of a joint account and reach an agreement as to who pays which bills and therefore net of this who owes who each month. This could include each paying into the same savings account or overpaying the mortgage.
You can then do what you want with your money away from prying eyes, plus she is not going to blow it all on shoes and other bullshit.

"We should have a joint account now that we're living together."
"No way. I don't want you to be able to see what I spend my money on or be able to spend it yourself. Plus separate accounts are much easier to sort out when we split up."

I mean - you’ve got to try and be honest with your kids haven’t you?
Maybe that’s harder than it sounds …
But surely it’s paving the way to difficulties in the future if you’re entangling yourself with bogosity.

"Do you love me?"
"Was I an accident?"
"Are you my real Daddy?"
Are these really questions that Faceless should be answering honestly?

Joint account for the things that are shared spend, such as mortgage, food, petrol etc, with fair contribution from each partner based on respective incomes. Another joint account for savings on the same basis. That leaves you your individual accounts to spend on whatever. Plus your additional private account for, well you know, and the stash of cash in the coal bunker. Job done.

I think there is an argument isn’t there? About how lying to children can result in mental health problems, because you’re asking them to hold together a contradictory picture of reality, and accept it as if it’s whole. So their psyches have to adapt to the fractured take on reality they’ve been given - by fracturing themselves.
That’s what I heard anyway. That’s what I read in an outdated second-hand book on psychology I once purchased.

For the love of money is the root of all of evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Morning!
Last night I Played FIFA22. As I was still full up from my MASSIVE lunchtime shawarma all I ate was some walkers French fries. Fascinating stuff.
Lazybones! - Slick back your hair, turn up the collar on your jacket and have a hand rolled cig hanging out of your mouth. Lean against the Wok to Walk window and when the tough guy in the high viz turns up, glare at him and say "hey tough guy, you wanna piece of me? Well, do ya punk?"
He'll crumble in terror and never bully anyone again*
*not guaranteed

Especially if Dr Shenguin is dropping truth bombs. |

There are moments in life when the inevitability of ageing smacks you right in the mouth.
Example: Putting on headphones to find that the headband makes direct contact with your skin.

lazybones . You like Vanishing Point, don't you. Well, I'm currently cruising around a virtual Mexico in a '70 Dodge Challenger decked out just like the one in the film. It's "Hopped up to over 160" just like Kowalski says in the movie. You'd love it.

I think this will be my last visit to Wok to Walk.
It’s a confused queing system. Or maybe it’s just the man who works here. I was planted firmly in front of the till and the man looked past me to the man behind me to ask if he was next.
Keen to not seem like a till bully I even found myself half-offering the place myself.
Ah man …

Is it possible … that after 18 months of lockdown the queing part of people’s minds has atrophied, resulting in monstrous atavism?
I think so…
