Description:

While researching a Wall Street Journal story on married women and money, journalist Heidi Evans discovered that secret savings accounts were commonplace--regardless of age, background, and economic status. In How to Hide Money from Your Husband ... and Other Time-Honored Ways to Build a Nest Egg, Evans explores the advantages of stashing personal cash from the eyes (and control) of a spouse while outlining a series of ways that it can effectively be done. Evans argues that, given the uncertainties of modern life, such behavior may be necessary: "Face facts, ladies. Virtually half of you will be divorced in your lifetime. Are you financially prepared for what comes next?" She presents stories of women who are already stockpiling money in closets, mutual funds, and even real estate, and offers suggestions and observations from the likes of Ann Landers, psychotherapist Sharyn Wolf, and divorce attorney Myrna Felder. Those in secure and fiscally balanced relationships may balk at her contentions, but Evans asserts that such activity can also strengthen a good marriage by creating resources that could eventually be used for the benefit of both partners. --Howard Rothman
