  • My wife and I keep our finances separate too.

    Except we both send money to an account that’s in my name offsetting the mortgage on the house that’s in my name too. My wife wants access to this account because she’s worried if I die the bank will make it hard to get at the cash since it’s offset and joint savings all in one.

    Not to mention we don’t have wills and she’s been pushing for that for a few years.

    The more I think about it, she might be planning on killing me haha




  • Yeah solid video watched it the other day.

    Thankfully I also live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.
