 http://www.helpussellourhouse.com/categories/20071003   FINANCIAL INFIDELITY

I just saw an interesting topic on the Today Show and I thought I would share what I heard.  They say that "Financial Infidelity" is about as bad as actually cheating on your spouse.   It's actually when people spend money in a secretive way, usually money that they shouldn't be spending or spending in a way that could be detrimental to the marriage. 

Tips to help you stay away from this:

#1  Establish your own accounts
#2  Set 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' limits   (within your budget in your own account)
#3  Hold monthly money meetings
#4  Validate your value
#5  Run your home like a business

Validate your value would be for parents that stay at home.  You need to decide what that job would be worth if you were to hire someone to do those things for you.  If you are taking care of the kids, cleaning the house, cooking and managing the home.   Be the CEO of your household.

LOL. I just thought it was interesting that some people consider this as bad as cheating on your spouse. In a way I can see it. If you go behind their back and spend money that belongs to both of you, that is kind of .... well ... dishonest!
