Re: Wife offers deal
OK, I had typed a long post explaining why OP should NOT go with wifey's suggestion (last thing you need is more pressure to do well in poker), and why he needs to learn to manage his roll by himself (you don't want a person with a non-poker related vested interest running your roll).
The post got lost, and then came all this depressing stuff about mariage and money.
Guys, you're wrong, it's easy.
The point of mariage is to improve quality of life, not detract from it! So think about how you would manage your money as a single, and then do the same - just better - with your wife.
My life.
We have two (2) checking accounts (direct deposit) - and a budget.
It doesn't matter who pays what (as long as it's being paid). If I'm low on doe the Mouse gives me a check - and vice versa. It's in the budget.
The budget covers EVERYTHING - not only the boring stuff, but also her spa visits and shopping sprees, my poker (OK, after 4 years of winning that's of theoretical usage), my porn, my you name it - AND a decent allowance for each of us, not based on what we contribute, but on what we like to spend. Exactly like we would manage our money if we were two independent adults.
It has worked for 6 years now, and it still works.
