delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
i've been thinking about that thread for a bit now and i have a question.
do you have a financial "plan b"?
do you have something "squirreled away", god forbid, you're marriage/relationship ends??

I don't have an actual financial plan B but I have no debt, no car loan, etc so as long as I have my job, I know I'm ok.

Yes I have a "just incase fund" I have had it for years. Im prepared for anything, after watching my mom struggle I swore that would never happen to me.

Where is the option "of course, because I am going to take everything he has" ?

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
I am ok...been through it. I didn't have my own money stashed away...but he had such guilt...I made him PAY!!!
I moved to manahatten which is so much $$$ but worth it. I also have a good job with a fair salary...I guess that was my protection!

This is exactly what I was thinking...visions of running to the bank appear in my head.

Same here, I make almost as much as DH, with better benefits, so as long as I still have my job, I am fine.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
Yes, my plan B was my plan A, that is to say that before I got married I had my own condo, good job, retirement $, etc. I would just go back to that. Getting 1/2 isn't a plan IMO, that's just part of the deal. You may not see that money for a year or more, if ever.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
Yes. All the money is in MY bank account!
but honestly, I never thought of it. My job is secure enough and I have enough saved up that I'm not worried about a Plan B.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
Well, I'd quit my job in order to move back to the States, so I wouldn't be in great shape to begin with. But I have no debt and I could live with pretty much any member of my family until I got myself back on my feet, so I don't think it would be a problem. We have a good amount of money saved, so I would expect to get some of it to offset my moving costs and some initial expenses like a second hand car or whatever.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
Since I amnot working due to DHs job- my plan would be to immediately go back to work- I don't have many bills-just car and mortgage and a minor CC bill-really really small-so I would be fine- the mortgage could be paid- but we would sell the house and I would get myself something smaller for now- a condo- It would suck and emotionally I would be a wreck, but I could do it

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
I don't have FU money right now, not to say I won't ever have it. Anything can happen. Life is so unpredictable. You always need to watch your back.
Although we've been through so much and together for so long that it would be almost as devastating to our families as it would be to us should we part ways.
But thankfully, I work and I do OK. So I shall hopefully be fine.

that's my option. I handle the money so it would take me all of 15 minutes to have it all. he would never know what hit him.
In reality everything is in our name and we would divide it evenly. We are equal bread winners and we would split the debt and the assets.
eta: and yes, as long as I am working I will be fine.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
I don't have a plan b, however I just know that with my salary and what I have in my savings account I would be able to get a little place on my own and I would be fine. We would have to sell our house and then I would also get a part of that sale since we own our house 50/50, so that would be an additional savings into my savings acct.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
I don't have an FU fund. Call me naive, but for me to have one would be like planning for my divorce. And I don't ever want to do that, unless we've gotten to that point in the relationship.
I have a career and make good money so I would be okay financially if we split, but right now all of our money is together.

Re: delayed spinoff to: would you be ok financially if you separated
I'm a SAHM, so I often worry about financials, not so much if DH and I ever divorced, but what if his family business closed or he was injured and couldn't work... I have a small savings in my own name, earing 6% interest and it would help me out for a few months if anything ever happened. We also have enough savings to pay our bills/mortgage for at least a year should anything ever happen.. We live poorly, but have saved wisely.

At the moment I'm not really getting financial support from FH, but I was for a long time. I live with my mo, but if I didn't, I would not be able yto survive right now on my own. I do have seaprate savings though, which I intend to keep after I'm marrued
