shake your money maker

These statistics indicate more and more working wives are out-earning their working husbands.

For the average couple, this can be really cool or really awkward.

In relationships, I generally like discussing finances as much as I like talking about exes. Translation: Not a lot.

I'd be fine if I dated somebody and he never knew which one of us made the loftier salary. Unfortunately, that's generally impossible since I'm a journalist. My Wal-Mart generic brand laundry detergent should say enough.

Seriously, though: At what point, if ever, should you tell your significant other precisely how much you make?
