I have a little different situation. My husband and I were both the same age, 37,when we married. We both had good jobs/careers and owned our own homes. Initially, my husband paid the bills and I handled the invesments. I was an estate and financial planner. I rearranged my husbands investments and 401k options and taught him why, etc. Now, he handles all the bills and investments, but we discuss everything before making changes. I am very independent and totally an equal partner. WE respect and trust one another with everything. We are in the process of having our wills and trusts updated with an attorney and we agreed on how everything would be handled in the event of our untimely deaths. We are both 54 now and have a 10 year old son and 13 year old daughter. We are definitely outside the curve on the kid front. Most of our friends have grandchildren now!!!
Anything is possible!!!!
