i'm suspicious of people like that as well. And of "happy" people. imho we all have our dark sides, our bad experiences, and i find people who hide theirs constantly a bit dubious.

Pero pano nga ba ang diskarte nyo? Me sarili ba kayong "stash"? i guess it's a bit more complicated in the US where people can get wiped out from a divorce.

imho, i think OK lang naman if each partner has his/her "own" money, so long as they're not remiss in paying the bills, tuition, etc., or are spending it on luho...lalo na kung babae, usually dehado sa hiwalayan(at least here in PH)

Wifey and myself,- shared resources,- joint accounts ang aming payroll accounts sa bangko...

Money is a necessary evil,- and it is more evil to fight over money....

Nagpapaalam naman ako sa kanya kapag binili ko na ang item sa amazon...

I keep a small amount in my wallet for 'special occasions',- para lang hindi ako manghihingi sa kanya- dyahi rin kasi lalo na kung may nakakakita o nakakarinig..... >>> Anyway, almost all of the times,- iyong paningit ko sa wallet ay nagagastos din namin kapag may biglaang kailangang bilhin ng cash - like LPG et al....

Traveling is an investment?

For me, it is. Although this changes accordingly to who is traveling and what they actually do.

I'm quite a PITA as a fellow traveller kasi (as my friends say) since I'm particularly attentive to stuff since this stems from my nature as an investor (can I invest in this?) and businessman (can I import this?).. mostly I use it for data-gathering kasi for future investment purposes.

Take an example the time I visited Macao. I was simply touring the city and visiting the gambling houses (from the Venetian, Galaxy, Wynn, etc.) and yet never gambled. What I did do is that I simply observe -- what game rakes in most of the cash? anak ng tipaklong, bat ang tagal kumuha ng card nitong joint.. why is the minimum bet $100? wala bang $2.00 lang? kung wala, saan meron? etc.

That one day alone gives me a whole lot of information regarding casino houses -- their target market, their relative strengths and weaknesses.. who's the stronger one. You'd be surprised that the ones accepting low bids (yun mga $2 per game, etc.) have a better profit margin on an absolute basis after expenses.

Another example is Hong Kong... I'm the one who asks pesky questions sa hotel concierge such as room occupancy rates, seasonality, etc. If room occupancy is low.. I then hypothesize why? then start my trail there.

But wherever I go, for real estate practitioners.. alam ko ginagawa niyo rin 'to, I also tend to gauge real estate condominium occupancy rates by visiting them at night and seeing how many open lights there are, how accessible is it, how safe is it, etc.

^^ somehow agree with you.
nothing beats experience, learning different cultures, trying different dishes.

my mentor used to tell me.... "travelling and learning from it is far more greater than material stuff na pag pinagsawaan mo na, tapos ang thrill."

I read one book na its healthier daw na yung money ng mag-asawa is shared.. Then conjugal spending. One approves the other before you buy something.. Siguro sa mga mataas ang ego, medyo mahihirapan yata sa ganun situation.. Pero hinde ba ganun yung vow sa marriage?

Is it really hard? Or dahil tayo yung lalake we feel different na if we earn the bread, why should i ask permission to spend?

Wala pa ako asawa, pero im leaning on that sense (conjugal earning/spending) in terms of money matters in marriage when that time comes..

if both husband and wife have simple tastes, there's no problem who controls the purse, because money will not hemorrhage out.. if either has expensive taste, there's a big problem, regardless of who holds the wallet..
in my case, we have simple tastes.. one day, i bring home a car. "honey, i bought a new car". wifey says, "oh good! i'll help you break it in. we're out of supplies. you can drive me to the grocery!"

for me and my wife, i just give her my entire pay... kumukuha lang ako ng pang allowance.... minsan pag kinakapos, humihingi na lang din. works for us.... wala akong stress mag intindi ng mga monthly bills. and nacocontrol nya ang budget.
