Stay at Home Mums - Money from Husband

[mailpal]

We have joint account, I can and do use freely for what I Dear Son need..

Food shops, petrol, stuff for both of us etc.,

But I don't have any personal income/savings at all and no pension!

I've been a SAHM for 3.5 years now and am fully reliant on DH..

Not ideal at all I know this!

My husband is well off himself (he has multiple accounts/savings/investments/pension..

My question, do I get personal money from him and a pension? We have agreed I will work when my son goes FT at nursery, a year away (it works for us for now)

Any advice??

We stupidly waited for me to go back to work before thinking about my pension. You have an annual pension tax efficient allowance - really a good idea to use it (ie your husband paying into it) NOW before you start work.

My husband isn’t stingy - he just needed an attitude reset to understand that I needed the security of half our money. OUR money, regardless of who earned it.
