On the other hand, we do solicit each other's opinions about virtually everything related to life. (Of course, that doesn't mean we always follow the advice we get from one another...but we try very hard to always ask.) Perhaps we're unusual...both of us, despite being young, came into the relationship with more assets than we're likely to earn as a couple. Her inheritance from her grandfather remains _her_ money, and my business remains _my_ money. I won't say our way will work for anybody else. But it works for us. We don’t invest jointly.

Instead, the responsibility should be divided. My wife does our research. She finds investments that she feels good about. She presents me with choices or with her final recommendation to vet.
