<prompt> Human: Hey rpersonalfinance,Personally, my wife is not too interested in our finances beyond just trying to save what we can. I am fine with being the sole party interested in PF, but am worried that if something happens to me she will be caught in the dark. I keep her informed with all decisions we have X extra this month, I was thinking about putting it to our mortgage principle, we have X months of expenses in our savings, I am thinking about opening a Vanguard account, etc. and am fine with just me planning our next moves, but if something happens I want to make sure she knows where the money is, some basic theories, and so on. I was curious how many of you have a shared interest with your SO on your personal finances vs only one of the two involved in actively tracking expenses, budgeting, planning, etc. If only one of you were interested with personal finance originally, how did you get the other interested or at least involved? My wife isnt actively against getting involved but just disinterested and Im looking for some pointers from the community.Thanks!  <response>: Dont bother trying to get them interested.Instead, make a step by step instruction manual list of assetsbills and their values, logins passwords, and priorities, put it with your will and health care directive.The goal isnt to get your SO interested as a hobby, the goal is to ensure they can comfortably make it through a time when youre unable to do that job.
