  1. “We are product of our environment”most girls who are or were raised by dads who went to work & moms who stayed home to raise them,typically if the environment was good the girls don’t think so much about money they just think that when they grow up they’ll get married & be taken care of by their hubby same way their dad did,you can see a bit contrast between little boys & girls,boys usually play with toys & dream of driving a big car while girls want to play with the dolls coz they are nurturing,boys are always advised not to cry but girls are allowed to feel the emotions physiologically we are slightly different so when Joy said she did not think about money so much as little girl it’s very true Joe

  2. I’ve been married for 27 yrs,i worked for while then had to stay home to raise the 3 kids we have since we could not keep up with day care bills which seemed like that’s where all my pay check was going,there are many factors in a relationship but having a joint account needs HONESTY & TRUST those are the two driving force for us,we have joint accounts,home, vehicles & land all have both names,we normally pay bills,tuck in the savings,we also set aside for the families,then agree on each having some allowance according to the needs,our reason is to protect @ other in case of death “God forbid” when husband passes most women are left fighting the husband’s family which leaves the kids suffering because of greed,most have an attitude that “kijana ni wetu so whatever was his is ours now that he’s gone”

  3. I agree my husband is not stingy at all,but when he gives out cash after two days he is really pleading how you can help him out financially,you talk about this it happens again…. Honestly i prefer that stingy man over one who dishes money out …moreso his relatives know of this habit,their problems are ever many and my husband would want to meet everyones need,….i have no problem with helping ppl but giving out money is not a long term solution to ppl back at home,…..

  4. Joy has a point on women not asking their men for self-care money.But for a lady to think like Joy ,she must have a man who is understanding enough like Joe.Some men are opportunist,you help as a lady,they take advantage of you

  6. In a marriage, couple should organise their finances around what brought them together. If it's genuine interest to share lives they've to put both monies together and allocate what is for recurrent expenses, investment and gifting. If the couple has one partner is disadvantaged against the other, that person would need to keep bribing the other. Therefore, the disadvantaged needs to compensate for his/her insisting the other to remain interested. The problem begins when a couple that settled in a disadvantaged setup but then attempt to act as a genuine interest couple. Each of these setups need to persist in direction of original intention for harmony in the marriage.

  7. Female nature requires for dating season to answer for "how much can a man sacrifice to take care of me". And evolution demands it for picking a suitable provider. Especially that in child bearing she subconsciously expect to be vulnerable, income-less. Afterwards, she would switch to "marriage mode" and encourage frugal living. It's a man's challenge to apply the "father Christmas" policy just enough to hold her attention to convert her into "marriage mode".

  8. I've heard people say they take their children to expensive schools such as Brookhouse, St. Andrews Turi, or even South African schools so that their children can have networks once they grow up and so they can also network with fellow rich parents😂. What do you think about it?
