Don't keep family money matters a secret.
Money is a taboo subject in many families. It shouldn't be. Money can also be a source of control by a family member. It shouldn't be.
Communicating about money with other family members is important at all stages of life. For children, setting a good example can help them become financially responsible adults.
Both spouses or both partners need to be informed about family finances to avoid problems in the event the partner who controls the coffers becomes disabled or dies.
As parents age, they do a great service to their heirs by informing them of their financial status and what can be expected as an inheritance. Don't keep money a secret.
