Right to the nickel! She is a lot younger ..... called proper estate planning.
One day the inventory is all hers . That said she was taken aback when I came back from a buying trip with an NGC
Certified 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar for myself ( I don't collect coins , just buy and sell) The comment I got was " that would buy a decent car" , the reply " we don't need another car " .

My wife's not concerned about how much I spend but if it's in 4-figures I clear it with her first.
She has a general idea of the worth of my collection.
And she knows who to go to if she wants to sell it (of course after I'm gone).
And barring some sort of accident I'm almost 100% sure I'll be the first to go.

I doubt I will ever have that problem.

My wife doesn't care to know. I'm happy to tell her, but she doesn't care. Silly woman.

Unfortunately, most of the money I make selling coins does not go to buy coins to keep for my collection. The bulk of my coin earning funds go to make car payments.

I can't wait until that ends in two years!

However, a few do make it into my collection here and there.

She's smarter than me, better educated, more successful, and way better looking. One way or another it's all hers anyway so it makes no difference.

He did, and I still liked the old one better. He can see the 4K better and likes the deeper blacks, but everything looks worse to me. I had to move my video games to another room.

Don't ask, don't tell. When we got married 20 years ago we setup hers, mine, and ours checking and brokerage accounts at a large bank and brokerage. I don't see how she spends or invests her money and don't care and she doesn't see what I do with mine. It avoids fights over money.
