I totally envy couples who both share their passion in planning for their future.

My husband is an Architect and I am an Accountant. When it comes to saving plans, I do all the planning. When baby arrived, I shopped for the best Term Insurance. My reason is to protect our child. Whatever happens to any of us, we are both insured and our child will be supported until he finishes his college. 


Well, since hubby doesn’t know anything about insurance, I took the liberty of choosing the right plan for him because boys will always be boys. Men prefer to talk and read about their collection toys instead of reading about investments and passive incomes!  So, I have been thinking maybe we are really made for each other. Shortcomings of any one of us will be delivered by the other one. Well, honestly, I don’t know anything about pets or sports but hubby does. I don’t know anything about cars, but he does. I don’t have any leisure, expensive hobbies (except buying books!) but hubby shares his hobbies and ideas to me. He brings me to places to relax. Therefore, everything is in balance. 

To show you how different our minds work, here is an example:
ME                                                                                          HIM
Plan to get term insurance for both of us at low cost       He plans to buy Jordan Nike or Lacoste shoes
I plan to invest in Variable Life Insurance                        He plans to buy a brand new car
I want open another new savings for child                       He plans to upgrade his computer

The good thing really is that my husband is a good provider. He supports me with all my investing /savings plan and gives his share of income. He trusts me with this task J On the other side, whenever he wants to buy another toy for himself, I just couldn’t take it! I always ask, “Do you really really need that? How much will that give to you in return?”

Above is just a sample of men vs. women ways of doing things but in the end wives take the work that husbands forget to include in their itineraries in life.
