Husband had loan insured, but bank never told his widow

54. Not handling the finances does not require ignorance

I handle the finances in my marriage, too. I pay all of the bills, and balance the checkbook. That doesn't mean that my wife does not know where the documentation is or how to read them.

I also do the grocery shopping and cooking, but I'm neither barefoot or pregnant.

I do believe in equal pay for women. I also believe that they have to accept equal responsibiliity for their financial well being.

If someone claims that a woman was cheated because she was a woman, then I believe that person is renouncing any claim to equal pay. You cannot have it both ways. If women can perform equally with men, then we must require them to do so. We cannot give women equal compensation and still protect them based on unequal intellectual capability for self protection.

If I die, my wife is supposed to do what? Act like an ifdiot and go to the bank and tell them to manage her finances? Have them tell her what and how much to pay because she doesn't know how to read the papers that are in my desk? I don't think so.
