You sound insecure in your marriage. Is there anything beyond what you are saying. If love is the foundation of your marriage then I don't see... anything wrong with what you are saying. Bring the income to table together and plan as one. This thing my husband's money my money is not supposed to be so. And beginning to do things in secrecy will only introduce complications.

This advice is 3000 years old? Save ten cents out of every dollar you earn. In other words, ten percent. Put this in a separate bank account, which... you can start by simply walking in the bank and asking the teller. If possible, from your savings, purchase a $100 safe and have a friend bolt it to a concrete floor from the inside. I say this because all banks now have government permission to confiscate your savings without notice. You will be amazed at how the money grows. more

Make sure you have a separate bank account. Learn all you can about finances. There are dozens of courses offered online. If you open an online... brokerage account with a reputable company, you will have access to many different courses on finances.  more

Great, thanks for being a solution at this point 👍

Hi Mariam, may I suggest start saving small amounts. It's not about trying to save a whole lot in a short period. It is more about building a habit... of saving. So, begin by saving $10 each time you get paid. Consider having it automatically deposited into a checking account or put it in a shoebox (as an example). Seeking advice from a financial coach or counselor is always a good option to consider. more

Hi Miriam,
It takes great self-awareness to acknowledge personal challenges—kudos to you for that. Recognizing the issue is an important first step.... The next step is to take action. You might consider working with a coach, financial advisor, or mentor to help you build the skills and structure needed to achieve your financial goals.
All the best.

It is bad, though. you should be supportive both financially and every aspect of your marriage so that what keeps the family is available all the time
