Re: Wife offers deal
[ QUOTE ]
Trust me, this is a horrible idea. Just have your own Poker bankroll. If the two of you aren't comfortable with it, then don't have a poker bankroll. [/ QUOTE ] Right on Nez. This is what my wife and I do. But if I cash it out to quit being part of the BR, it is our money, not just mine. |

Re: Wife offers deal
Wow, I thought I was whipped, this makes me feel better.
Also, for anyone who's married, I'd advise using 3 checking accounts, a joint one for bills and such, and separate accounts for each of you for your own stuff. It's not so much that you have your "own" money, or that you're trying to hide purchases you make, it's just that a lot of trouble can be avoided if you aren't pouring over every little purchase that the other person makes. |

If you're not comfortable talking to her about something you're doing, then you probably shouldn't be doing it. |

[/ QUOTE ] what? i don't do this to keep things secret. but why have to iron out details on how much money goes to golf/poker/etc? Also, if I want to go to a guy's trip to Tunica, I can save a couple hundo a month from my account, rather than showing up needing 1k to do it. My wife and I put our full checks into our 'middle' account, and each withdraw an equal 'allowance' each month to spend/save as we see fit. We dated 7 years, and have been married almost 4, and have NEVER had one single money fight. We have NEVER missed a bill, NEVER come up short in a month, etc. |

Re: Wife offers deal
I shoulda been more clear on our finances (the marriage is fine, smartasses). I make 3x what she does and pay most expenses/bills. We're more than comfortable and poker is my only real hobby. I make about 15k a year(net)playing tournys. That being said, my bankroll management sucks and I'm sometimes stuck playing the $40 and $50 tournys as opposed to the $150 and $250's. My thought is to accept the deal as a supplemental BR outside of the one I "maintain" on my own. I like the idea as it creates a partnership and by extension, establishes a vested interest in my success, but I worry that by playing with her money, at those buy-ins, will in the longterm lower my yearly ROI.
