I always thought I knew everything about my wife. She’s been a stay-at-home mom since the day our first child was born, fully devoted to raising our four kids and taking care of our home. She never had a job outside, and her parents didn’t leave her any money. I handled the finances, and she managed the family. It felt like a simple and balanced life.
A few days ago, while going through some documents, I came across something unexpected. There was a bank account in her name with $57,000 in it. I couldn’t figure out where it came from because she had never mentioned anything about savings like that. I asked her calmly, curious to understand.
