You’ve clearly never been married and have no idea what you’re talking about. Hiding secrets and saying it’s impossible not to is the most destructive thing you could do to your marriage. On top of all, hiding assets from a spouse during a divorce amounts to contempt of court and carries a penalty and additional legal battles and expenses. Please don’t recommend anyone to do it.
I’m just going to assume you (as I am) are a man. For women, this is a very real concern, and is still a somewhat common issue. I know two women if my family who were married for 10+ years before their partners had a sudden, violent change. For one of them their partner managed to empty all of their savings, and leave the country. She literally had to couch surf at 50 because she had nothing, and hadn’t kept her own savings.

Sure but it’s always good to keep a backup/bug out plan.
I would absolutely keep enough money set aside to at least get an apartment and furnish the necessities immediately. That’s smart.
Then find a partner who is okay with having separate bank accounts that you can keep your own money in. It doesn’t have to be a secret.
Right, so they can use the law against you and take it from you? Threaten you with violence until you give it?
Man y’all are very trusting lol
Why be in a relationship if you can’t trust people at all. Better be alone then.
You can trust people, I just advocate for a backup plan.
Thats what you can structure your seperate solo account that only you have access to to be then.
Why would you stay in that relationship at that point?
Point would be you wouldn’t. Hence the secret bugout fund.
Dont get married then. Seriously. That level of background distrust is toxic to a relationship. Understandable? Sure. Healthy to act on? No
You are correct, that is smart.
Too bad financial intelligence isn’t the only factor at play whey it comes to a relationship.
That’s a lot of money in modern times.
