Re: This topic is causing stress in marriage we need some he
There are apparently tax advantages to the wife's money, whereas the husband's gold and silver seems to be in the mattress. Yes. Selling non-retirement assets (gold and silver) without a penalty instead of retirement with a penalty is a much better idea. Huh? There is certainly a penalty to selling physical gold and silver. First, there is the spread between buy and sell. That can easily equal a 10% penalty. Then factor in the time involved to physically get it, physically transport it to the person buying it. That time is worth something too. Then factor the risk of getting hit in the head with a sock full of pennies and robbed while transporting the gold. Lululu, it is obvious that you think the contributions of this part-time stay at ho...

Re: This topic is causing stress in marriage we need some he
I'm a +1 for selling your gold and silver if it's not in a taxable account. Your wife doesn't want to take money out of her account, are you willing to liquidate your assets? In my marriage there isn't his and hers money, there is only our money. At which point, your accusatory question is meaningless. But I can acknowledge that not all relationships work like that. So if we're playing the tune that a husband and wife's money are separate as you seem to be saying, did you read the part where OP wrote that these debts were the wife's before their marriage? If you did read that and still advocate him liquidating his assets to pay her debts when she has sufficient assets to cover them herself, what is your basis for that position? There are a...

Re: Mice in the house
Please don't use poison to get rid of mice, because animals higher up the food chain like cats and hawks will die/suffer terribly from secondary poisoning when they eat those mice, which are easy for them to catch compared to non-poisoned mice.
It used to be that every six months or so a mouse or two would get into my house. They hate the noise of a vacuum cleaner. Let it run for 10-15 minutes several days in a row and no more mice. Plus, you have a very clean house
