If I were Filthy Rich
By SprayImportant7486+15 How would you deal with falling out with your significant other?
They say when money is involved people change. Let’s say that you won over 100 million dollars after taxes.
If your significant other had a totally different vision for how you should handle your newfound wealth, (like they wanted to drop bands at the club, take expensive trips all the time, and run up the credit cards to the point where you could go broke) to the point where it is causing constant fights would you try to work things out, or would you pull a Jeff bezos and just give them half and walk away without a fight?
Do you feel like you should get a bigger say than your significant other on how the money should be spent if you are the one that usually plays and where the one that won?

+20 @ChumpChainge I’ve been with my wife for near 4 decades. I trust her absolutely implicitly. If she decided to run rampant with the money or even take all of it, I’d let her and figure she earned it. But I know that even if she was done with me she wouldn’t leave me destitute. It’s not in her. We’ve already discussed what we would do in a large windfall situation and are on the same page. We’ve had more modest windfalls before and if anything she has held the purse strings tighter than I ever would.
+19 @5Series_BMW Money doesn’t change people, it just reveals their true identity. Back to your question - I wouldn’t let a girlfriend (in my case) manage my money. People come and go all the time so I always thought it’s best to keep finances separate. Just my $0.02 though
+15 @Suitable-Scholar-778 If we win a shitload of money, we still have to live by a budget. Just a larger one. Having more doesn't mean it won't run out if not properly planned for.
