Please read further and lets discuss it...
Do you have an exit fund? Do you believe in an exit fund? I showed someone this before i made it a post and she said she had one but calls it a 'Rainy day' fund.
Its not as one gets married and plans to exit but some spouses are evil and this fund is necessary in case it goes South...
Some people marry and render their spouses Jobless and then refuse to provide for all their needs even though they can, these people use any and every opportunity they see to 'keep' some money by the side.. Only the smart ones do this though...
Do you think the exit fund is necessary? Do you have one in case of..........
Lets gist!
Shingbai, I don't have. Money that is not even enough for my needs.
ReplyDeleteIf marriage fails tomorrow, na to go and be doing fine barra from friends and families. God forbid
I don’t term mine an exit fund but I just believe that I should have enough money and personal property maka nobody knows tomorrow especially in a country where the law doesn’t favor women we must wise up .
ReplyDeleteWise woman!
DeleteThe name "Exit Fund" is a bit extreme and sounds negative to begin with in a marriage (which is suppose to be forever), considering that the marriage just started, maybe it depends on when the fund starts. As you said "Rainy day fund, What if fund, Plan Z fund etc
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! Exit funds means they're anticipating their marriages will crash
DeleteIt’s necessary as a human;married or not,to have a personal savings account;for any rainy day..and not because a marriage crashed or would crash..
ReplyDeleteEven if you have a joint account as a married couple;both should have a savings account and use your common sense gifted to you by God..
How can you not have a personal savings because of love? It’s foolishness to me because you are only being emotional and not logical..cos love or not;two individuals living together can never have the same spending habit when it comes to money..
Then If your savings come in handy in a case of marriage crash;you move on with it.
It doesn’t necessarily need to be a rainy or exit fund;it’s just what a human with a working brain should do from the onset..
Love Akpuó gi isi there..
@MARTINS
It is very necessary.
ReplyDeleteI do not have anything called an exit fund but I’m making sure to have my personal savings for whatever.
ReplyDeleteI won't call it exit fund, I call it retirement benefit, I got married at 23, I got a generous husband so I'm able to save a 100k every month for the past 9 years till date, do the math. Now DH has no idea I've been saving, he doesn't really care what I do with the allowance he gives me, well, he's loaded so it's a win-win. I do transport business, so I'm able to save.
ReplyDeleteThat's how people have bastardized the institution called marriage and yet expect it to work.
ReplyDeletePlan your finances with your spouse and grow together. Why hide away finances from your spouse? That doesn't make sense. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have your personal savings but that should be an understanding between both parties. Financial dishonesty is as bad as cheating!
...and PLEASE WOMEN, MARRY WHO YOUR TRUST!!
Having ur personal savings does not mean ur husband won’t know u have savings but it is just money that isn’t his business. Una don come again. So if my husband says I should not save then I shouldn’t save as per ‘that should be an understanding between both parties’. As long as I contribute my quota as agreed to the running of the home, what I do with the rest of my money is my personal business
DeleteMy dear, we married who we trust oo, along the line, life happened. They showed us that u can’t trust any human being totally, u can only give God that kind of trust. My sister they said dreams come true, but they forgot to tell us that nightmares are dreams too.
DeleteHmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI have nom now ooo
May I never need an exit fund by God's grace.
ReplyDeleteAll I do is to always try to have my own savings, but it's not even a secret to my husband and vice versa.
I love saving as a single person and always have money to fall to no matter what. I got married to a money waster greatest mistake was opening up about my income cos he won't let me rest till the money is finished. As an African woman I thought he was doing me good till he abandoned me with a less than one yr child and an expired house rent. It was hell but thank God I was able to scale tru. Was about moving on with my life till reconciliation came up as per baby is involved now. I agreed but was wiser. I started saving for raining day cos all trust was lost. As usual he struck again this time with almost two yrs baby and pregnancy. I waved him bye bye and move on with my beautiful life. When he thought it was over I gifted myself a car as push present and liberation. If not for Buhari wahala I for know where I dey now. But in all I thank God I can care for myself and kids.
ReplyDeleteI won't advise anyone to have exit money but please save for raining day . It is very important in this life.
I do not have an exit fund, I don't intend to ever leave my marriage by God's grace. But I have lots of investment which hubby helps me manage.
ReplyDeleteAn investment a spouse is managing isn't personal to you!
DeleteI don't have an exit fund but it a good thing for a woman to have savings in case of anything,not that you are expecting anything but I have learnt something In this life,always expect the unexpected
ReplyDeleteIt is well, God please remember me.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever suits you. Some irresponsible men would not let me out rightly go against the fund.
ReplyDeleteAvoid irresponsible men
DeleteI have an emergency fund account. I used it to buy a flat last year and now i have started building it up again. I have been married 15 years. I believe in having 6months to 1year expense account tucked away. If anything happens, I can take care of bills and family for a whole year whilst I try to get back on my feet. My husband knows I keep such account but he doesn't know how much I have in it. I also use it to rescue him when he gets into a business glitch. It is a win win situation. All I know is once that money is below $10k. I begin to panic.
