The best way to involve someone is to make them pay half of all the household expenses. I don't have the idea that a man of the house must foot all the bills. It had always been equal sharing from day 1, so it's not a new problem. <br /><br />Recently, she seems to be interested in finance and asked me some stuff about it, which I gladly share! I guess sometimes it takes time for pple to be interested in it. And I think she had seen all the habits (recording expenses, monthly accounting, investing etc) that I do too and wondering why she isn't doing it. it's always good to have an open conversation but we have to be mindful. Try imagining your wife telling you things you're not interested in at all, like maybe the latest cosmetics etc. <br /><br />Can you pls elaborate on what you mean by being an MCP?<br />la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.com
