Boyfriend doesn't know about her finances!

Make sure you're not clipped too short!

Make sure you’re not clipped too short!

 
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
For the past 8 months I’ve been dating René.  I met him at my sister’s house, who lives out of state.  He’s kind, thoughtful, romantic, and I’ve grown very fond of him.  
He is a hairdresser at a small beauty salon.   I’m an attorney and make a handsome living, although he doesn’t know about my finances yet.   Actually, I’ve always traveled to see him.  He’s never been to my house.  
René says he loves me and wants to plan a life together. 
Is it necessary to spill the beans about my finances at this point?  
Madeline
 
Dear Madeline:   
René hasn’t even been to your house yet – therefore it’s wise to keep the beans close to the vest.   
Once you know more about each other then, tell him about your situation.  
A pre-nup may be a smart idea, so you don’t get clipped too short!  
Mrs. Figgins
