This can work both ways man to woman or woman passing..but the end result is there is a spouse left not only to grieve but to be worried and scared about finances, keeping the home, etc. The women had to not only suss out what their assets and liabilities were but what income is left for them to have a quality of life. Fortunately, my sister is a whiz when it comes to settling estates, insurance, social security benefits,etc. and has been teaching these women how to move forward but many don't have this type of resource. The lesson is both spouses must know in entirety about the family financial position and be ready to take over in the event of illnes or death.

For years he would write the bills and balance the checkbook and I would just look at the final number. Now I pay the bills and log each one and he still balances the checkbook. This way we both know exactly where we are. My husband and I work together. For years he would write the bills and balance the checkbook and I would just look at the final number.

I'm doing pretty well. :) That all works, but I saw this financial crunch coming from a distance, and have not taken a wife or had kids. I’m doing pretty well. :)

I often feel like I don't know what the family financial situation is in because we don't really talk about them. I wish we could because I'm sure it will make me reconsider a lot about how I'm using my money. Plus, I think talking about finances can relieve some of the stress it causes because it's not bottled up inside one person.
