I also loved your honesty and lack of a firm plan, much like our style of investing.
We also like our lives as they are, hubby enjoys his work most of the time. I enjoy being at home. So the investments just hum along in the background most of the time.
Had a laugh when you said your wife didn't know about some of the investments she owns. I once went for a walk with my mum, my dog, my three boys and three of their cousins and came home with a half share in a house in hubby's name.
Didn't know if we could afford it, took a bit of a risk, but knew that if we couldn't get finance for a half share, we could buy a third share, or a quarter share and mum would take the rest, so it wasn't REALLY a risk. Hadn't seen the house until ten minutes prior to auction.
I spent the afternoon trying to get him aside (he had several mates around putting up big steel beams) to tell him he had just bought half a house. I wasn't game to just blurt it out, in case he dropped a beam on someone's head
Finally, after a few hours of nervously trying to be upbeat, I told him. His reaction.... "that's good, where is it?"
I suppose he should be used it it, as it was not the first time I have done it
