Sa first job ko we were open with salary because you get an idea of the salary range based on the level of the person, but with my current company, the salary range is huge because they make an offer based on your previous salary, no matter what your position is when you are hired.

I have friends and family who have no idea how much their spouse makes My aunt always complains about how she does not even know how much retirement money my Uncle got. My BFF is the same with her husband, she does not know how much he makes, what is important is the bills are paid.

Napakaintimate kasi sakin ng money matters so it's really a big deal if I discuss this with someone, sa ngayon si crush ang pinakamay alam ng financial standing ko hehehe. My family absolutely have no idea how much I am earning, basta alam nila maliit hehehe
Wala naman sa contract na bawal malaman ng ibang tao sweldo mo. It puts all the bargaining power with your employer and none for you.

Personally I don't see any reason to hide your income with your spouse unless you feel papakialaman nila.

Each couple has a different way of handling finances. What my wife and I do is allocate a fixed personal allowance to ourselves (equal allowance for both of us), then have a % share of the joint household expenses according to the salience of our income to total household income.

So for example monthly expense is 100k. If her salary is 30% and mine is 70% then our contribution to the monthly expense is 30k and 70k respectively.

What we dont spend on our monthly expenses and personal allowance gets transferred to our savings account.

So lahat ng toys that I buy for myself and gifts to my wife I take from my monthly allowance.
