Hi, thanks so much for taking my call. I'll try to be quick with my question. My husband does well financially, but he tends to be a bit controlling with money. He's always taken the inheritance I've received each year and invested it in the stock market. Recently, I received about 50K, which will probably be the last bit of inheritance for a while.

Since I'm a stay-at-home mom with no allowance, I'd like to keep this money in a separate savings account in my name only. But he's adamantly against this and wants me to give him the money to invest. He said he'll give me the monthly dividends as an allowance. But I was hoping for more freedom than that.

Is this how it's been your whole marriage? Yeah. Yeah, and sometimes I get an allowance and sometimes I don't.

I do. I use the credit card that's both of ours for gas and groceries, but if I need to get a haircut or something, I use my debit card and I have money in there that I usually... I get money from my mom sometimes.

Well, it's gotten worse since we had our child. I have a six-year-old, and I'm not able to put him in, like, swim lessons and stuff. And he does really well financially. We have about a $5 million net worth. He makes about $400K a month, or not a month, $400K a year. But I don't know if I can convince him.

And he says that I'm selfish to keep the money in a savings account and that I'll lose money to inflation.
