Money Matters in Marriage

[ClaNker]

51% of my salary goes to wifey for the monthly expenses the rest goes to savings.

If it's too good to be true, it's most probably not true.

There's no set formula. Each marriage is specific to the couple and they adapt on how to manage their expenses. In our case, my wife earns loads more then i do but i'm the one managing the expenses. No considerable expenditures are done without starting off with a little friendly husband and wife discussion, which moves on to bickering and eventually leads to irritation... threats of then eventual eviction from the master's bedroom soon follow... then settles with mutual consent. :inlove:

And my thoughts that those who paint to have the perfect marriage... are just painting it.

Just noticed, tsikot is getting filled with skeptics and negative people. At least in recent months. I dont recall the forum to be this antagonistic before. Parang wala nang tamang ginawa kahit sino sa mundo, pati ba naman tong couple na to pinagiinitan pa rin.

I only know Edric Mendoza from his show on ANC which I find very helpful, so I am in no position to judge, much less speak against his family. But his wife's piece is a pretty good read if you ask me - sure the religious references may not be for everyone, but anyone with a fair bit of comprehension can look beyond the author's personal biases and standpoint and assess the points raised objectively.

BTT, of course money matters in marriage, and in all aspects of life actually. But there's a difference between seeing money as a tool and having your life revolve so heavily around it.

^^ we can't help but be critics. When one writes a blog, or anything on the web for that matter, it is for public consumption. And it is up to us, the public, to either believe, discard or take it for what it is worth.

The blog is too full of her "i used to be an independent woman but since my father is a minister i have to live by the bible and be subservient to my control freak husband" ekek. Kahit sino naman na nagbasa ng blog nya (na taga tsikot) yun ang read. The people praising her in her blog, who probably belong to the same ministry, are as brainwashed as her to know any different.

People here in tsikot are more discerning. Sorry na lang siya we see her for what she is.

Hmm..dunno how to deal with negative posts. i-censor natin?

Personally i prefer honest opinions, be it negative or positive. That's what forums are for, right? It's up to you as to how to process them.

Like what sir yebo said: once you write with the intent of other people reading it, it's implied that you open yourself to criticism. That's why i don't blog :D

The truth, always. Damn the consequences :peace:

re the part about being "subservient" to her husband...this may come back and bite me in the *$$ in the future, but that's a bit messed up to me. i grew up around some pretty strong, independent women, regardless of marital status or children. i'd sure appreciate having some women stand by me, maybe even as equal partners, but subservient? Wow. Husbands are people too, you know, born to make mistakes from time to time. That's why the husband/wife is there, to knock some sense into the other from time to time

there are no perfect people and therefore no perfect marriages. only in fairy tales that there is "and they lived happily ever after"

because we are all cynics and critics here with no life whatsoever outside tsikot. we live, breath and dream tsikot with nothing substantial in our life than just posting away, trying to ridicule anything someone posts good happening in their life.

"In a world where everybody hates
A happy ending story;
It's a wonder love can make the world go 'round
So don't let it bring you down
Turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song!

It's okay,- baby don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way....
You'll get by with smile......"

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

BGC and Makati are not south. It's center.

Meron kami ni misis nyan prenuptial agreement.

Proteksyon namin yan sa isa't isa. Kahit ngayon, kita nya sa negosyo nya sa kanya. Kita ko sa negosyo ko akin pero lahat ng pangangailangan ng pamilya, ako lahat gumagastos. Yung luho nya gastos nya yun, pero madalas sinisingil ako haha

Hahaha yan ang equality! Hehe

[dr. d]

but i wonder,
does a pre-nup have any bearing on tax and business issues ?
i..e, can a legal claim against one spouse, affect the other spouse's moneys?

Nauuso na daw prenup now. Sobra na dami billionaires.
