I just want to comment that it is a very good idea for ALL wives to be aware of bills, payments and you and your husband's financial situation. You need to know about it because if anything ever happens, you don't want to be left in the dark and be vulnerable to others, like bankers or mortgage companies, etc. 'If anything every happens' can include such things as divorce or sudden illness or death. I certainly do not want to add more stress or worry anyone, but this is the year 2014 and women need to be AWARE and have a say in control of their financial situation, as half of it is yours! Do not be like the old-fashioned women of the '40's or '50's who let their husbands handle everything that had to do with spending money, some even included husbands doing all the grocery shopping. I still see that sometimes and it upsets me. Women are not dumb, barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen anymore!
Try to learn as much as you can about these issues when it is not stressful for you. Maybe even just learn about one issue each week, such as car insurance for example. Thanks for your attention.
