It's N O T nonsense to have our own minds & our own investments & money.......instead of helping a man that can't seem to do it himself IMO.
I never said it was nonsense to have your own mind and investments. Maybe you should go back and read

edit: you'd be surprised at how many women get too dependent on men for money.....& then they get stuck in a relationship & can't get out AND if he's asking her & she asks strangers........then he doesn't know what he's doing so don't expect him to have $ for long. It's not to do with his ss #.....laughs.
You’ve clearly misunderstood what you’ve read. What I believe is nonsense is not sharing information and ideas. My wife is incredibly intelligent and I’m not so bad myself so why wouldn’t we share information, ask for ideas even if we don’t agree? We did this from the start of our relationship once we moved in together and I don’t see a downside in it. My wife is much more independent now than a decade ago when we were first married and that’s because we both have growth tremendously

Just because some investors are much smarter than you are and seize an opportunity doesn't mean it was a bad decision.
Many (most?) investors are much smarter than me.
But that person wasn't describing investment. He was describing land speculation. Moreover, he was describing a scenario of land speculation being the primary thing in the portfolio, rather than a tiny fraction of a portfolio.
A diversified portfolio is the closest thing in this world to a free lunch.
3, He has lots of gold and silver coins and a few other coins. His dad has bought him a gold coin every Christmas and a handful of silver coins every year of his life. He has added to this pile of coins.
he he has an emotional attachment to his coins, they are like a pet...
He says he will never sell his coins.
Insight?
If he starts referring to them as "My precious," time to call some psychiatric help.

Your post said you couldn’t respect a man that had to ask you or a stranger. I’d respect anyone who asked for my opinion or advice.

I wouldn't respect a man that had to ask me for an opinion...to ask S T R A N G E R S in a forum. I'm a nurse & critical care expert.......I'm not a finance expert. Relying on strangers instead of experts if you have questions is silly.....& shows the Bf isn't very smart IMO.
edit: I have to ask my fiance about my investments..........& if I didn't have him to ask, I'd be asking a financial expert & reading up on it as much as I could.

What good is it to have significant others if you can’t ask for their opinion without them losing respect for you? How on earth would you expect to be better yourself if you aren’t having conversations on the topic? Absolutely mind boggling

It isn't her significant other tho.....it's just her Bf. AND.....if you have lots of $ you need to rely on yourself or experts & not ask Uncle Harry or Aunt Shannon at the backyard BBQ or strangers online what to do with it....... If it was both of their money.....it's a little different.....edit: but even she was married to him.......that doesn't make her....or a bunch of strangers online...financial experts....
