Is it O.K to reveal all your PIN NUMBERS to your wife/husband?

Answer 1

Well Omar,

I know all of my husband's passwords and he knows all of mine. He trusts me and I trust him. If you feel like you have to hide your pin numbers from your wife/husband then that is a bad sign.

Answer 2

Absolutely not. Make her get her own credit/debit cards and checking account. When i thought my marriage was strong i gave out this information. But one evening arriving home from work i have a temporary restraining order served on me, i'm required to leave the home, the very next day i have divorce papers served on me.
Given the restraining orders i couldn't call the wife to find out what the h ell was going on. We had not had any fights of anykind for well over a year, things were going very smoothly, and i'd never emotionally or physically abused her.

I was basically living in my office at work. after a week of this i decided i'd go to the bank and withdraw money from my accounts to get an apartment.

My bank accounts were empty, and some 500 checks had been written on my checking account which sent it $20,000 overdrawn.

During the divorce hearings it was determined that my wife and her new boyfriend had been out and about writing bad checks on my account. Had maxed out all the credit cards which had zero balances when i was forced out of my home. $30,000+.

While it was ordered that i didn't need to pickup all the bounced checks, i had to pay the credit cards off. But, when the ex wife and her boyfriend disappeared and went into hiding, i had to pay for all those bounced NSF checks.

It took me 4 years to get them all paid for. That was 11 years ago. So use this as a guide to what can happen when you give someone your pin number and access to your checking account.

It's that person you trust most in life that will eventually be the one to mess things up for you the most.

Answer 3

H'm! there are wife/husbands and there are wife/husbands. If you trust your wife or husband then by all means share your pin numbers with them (I do!) But there's no marriage between you if you don't trust them anyway! I would suggest that you are either an extremely cautious person towards money, or you have a very monetary untrustworthy marriage! Which is it?

Answer 4

Well since you are linked to the same account I don't see the need.
But I also don't see the need to hide it. I know my wife's. She doesn't know mine, but only because she always forgets it. It's not a secret from her.
One person should not have a stranglehold on money. One should do the budgeting and keep the other informed as to the situation with respect to free spending money, but nobody should be "Lord and Master" of the money.

Answer 5

If you don't trust your wife 100%, than maybe you shouldn't have married her to begin with. Of course it's okay to give your spouse information like that...

Answer 6

Are you insane? Absolutely not. Trusting a woman that much would be like letting Ted Bundy babysit your kids.

Answer 7

If your married to her, then yes. You must trust her if you married her. Otherwise your just plain nuts if you married someone who's not trustworthy.

Answer 8

no it is not ok. you never know what's in for the future. but if you must give, juz reveal one and not all.. certain things are not meant to be told...

Answer 9

If you don't like having money and never want to have it again, then go for it.

Answer 10

I don't see a problem with it, as long as you know they are trust worthy.
