It’s nice until her mental health declines because middle management corporate culture eats introvert women’s souls every day. Every. Day

Annnd congrats on the sex.

he said wife
sabotender
LOL, my first thought too. Promotions usually mean more responsibility too, so they'll be exhausted. They won't have sex for a looong time.
ProbablyDrunkAgain
Yeah, I guess he'll go to his gf for the sex
LapisSea
And his wife does not approve

Same thing happened to me and the wife... But it was due to min wage increasing....
....win?
It was back then, but congratulations.

Technical win!

as long as he doesn't work for Tim Hortons.

How do you only make minimum wage?
Listen young feller. Back in 2006 min wage was 6.50. Then it jumped to 7.25. sure gas was still 2.99 a gallon but you could drive fine!
aeolk
Min wage was 5.50 in my state in 06 when i started working my first job :(
What was your first job?
Grocery store cashier
HiddenSanity
A pretty large % of jobs are within $1/hr of minimum wage.
Large? Less than 1 percent of full time jobs
2) People paying at or near minimum wage are often looking to cut corners on costs, so two part time positions instead of 1 full, etc.
1) Less than 1% of full time jobs are AT minimum wage, that number doesn't include a .05 raise.
3) This results in a lot of people having to get by with 2-3 part time positions at/near minimum wage, and since PT, less/no benefits.
Be valuable enough to work full time
TakeAFannyGallop
Yeah, but now when you go to celebrate, who pays?
MimirBlue
He’s married, it’s all the same wallet in the end.
SterlingDangerZoneArcher
But it is really all hers though anyway amirite
Dyslexicbirch
Yes this my fiance and i think just like this my money is his his is mine we are a team
It... it was a joke.
Toasterpops
I agree in concept, I still keep bank accounts separate
We do that just because we're too lazy to merge them, but we make all major financial decisions together and we know where all the money /1
goes. In effect it's all shared, even though it comes out of different accounts. /2
pogpro5000
I upvotes because this is my thought too, but my wife and I are amazed at how many marriages have split finances
DataLady
It shocks me too. My husband and I have had shared finances since we moved in together @ 20 and 22.
MOTHERFUCKINGLUCIFERMORNINGSTAR
We have two primary accounts that are separate and a joint account for major purchases and vacationing. Works extremely well
AlmightyDylon
We each have our own fun money. But all bills are the same account
causality
My wife is fucking horrible with money. We have split finances because I don't want to be homeless.
DiabeticDolphin
Hahahaha
My gf is the same way
boruto
Funny. I was bad with money but shared finances with my wife forces me to get better at saving.
rx78nt1
Am married, have split finances. We both make very good salaries, but wanted to keep our financial independence.
DecorativeCacti
My SO and I have one joint account for mortgage/bills but everything else is separate. We both have our own spending money accounts.
5P1D3Rr
Same. It would the best for a modern couple.

popejubal
It would be the best for some couples while sharing finances would be the best for other couples.
Somanyquestions
Considering the divorce rate, I can't say it's a crazy idea.
WarriorSoul
But which creates the other?
This is my thought. How much of a team are you if you're insisting on keeping your finances separate? Doesn't bode well for teamwork in /1
None of them, divorce is caused but other factors in general.
TheSwampQueenAbides
I've worked in finance too long to see any benefit to having shared finances. Saves a lot of fights and the risk of waking up to a 0 balance
Source: happily married to a person with different money handling ideas and things are peachy
auserwithaname
It's not a bad idea, financial abuse is more common than you think
The reason it's a bad idea is because if you're not aware of what the other person's doing with their money, they could be digging *you* /1
into a hole along with them. Both people need to know what's happening with the money, and agree on it too. This will also really help if /2
