    Personally I go with the small amounts of cash method. I've thought about diverting from the payslips but just asking for trouble if she ever gets suspicious.

    I've also been to one WL who accepted crypto!!
    Yeah I’ve been wondering if crypto might be viable - anonymity is one of the reasons it exists after all. Might have a closer look at this

    Why, every partnership should have separate accounts and one joint one which is used for loans, food, utilities etc.

    Didn't China and India ban crypto currency? The government of other countries will follow too.

    Joint accounts are BS. It’s a great way to screw each other when things go pear shaped or on the way there. I’d rather give my partner a supplementary card for her to splurge even if she’s making dough. I have never and would never agree to such a thing. It’s ridiculous bro. Never ever put yourself in that position.

    You think they can? They announced things like that many times but the crypto market is still there.

    Doesn't matter what China and India do with Crypto. More impt what USA and Aus (that blindly follows the US) do and that is allow Crypto, currently unregulated. If it makes money, even if it increases money laundering, fraud, financial crimes, etc. you can be sure Wall Street and Aus Banks will be on it. CBA is already planning to start selling Crypto too

    Just about every marriage guidance service will tell you it is best to have separate accounts and one joint account for bills. Plus a lawyer will tell you it is a no brainer. Don't understand why you are so paranoid.

    Sure would have made my situation easier if I did this from the start ! Unfortunately if I go there now it would be giving the game away
    For me (and I suspect a good percentage of others - but not all for sure) we need to look to cash or other obscured methods

    As I have said before it's best to go back to good old fashioned barter.
    You bring in some fresh veggies from the garden, some firewood you chopped, some fresh eggs, a piglet, a live chicken, a painting you created, a scarf you knitted, a bow and arrow you made, a kangaroo skin.
    You do a bit of negotiating and it works well.
    Once I exchanged a plough for a ho. That was a pretty good deal. Everyone needs a good ho ... to plough ... and sow some seeds in.
    I think we lost a lot of our humanity when we went from hunter gatherers to farmers, and then some more when we went from farmers to industrial workers, and now a lot more as we go from industrial workers to digital/cyber/virtual/hologram/metaverse/cyborgs whatever the fuck we are becoming now ...
    We gained a lot too of course. Everything comes at a price.
    Enjoy!

    Suggest shops/ girls try Beemit. it's pretty good to use.

    Tell your partner you want cash in your wallet because you hate CC transaction fees.

    Especially if you’re buying a coffee here or there, lunches during the week, going out for dinner.

    Easy to say you spent money on lunch when it is actually put towards your massage stash.

    You can't carry gold nuggets around. The price of gold would be more than what the girl would charge at the shop.

    The assumption that crypto currencies are necessarily confidential is not always true, as is assumed in some posts. Some folks need to google "Crypto for Dummies" to find out the basics on why/when they are good and why/when not.
