The advice thread for random problems #7

Congratulations! Love a good news problem. I wouldn’t have thought of splitting it and keeping some secret. It’s a good idea if it feels right for you, because you get to share the celebration energy (I tuck away all winnings, cashback, owt like like, in my global index tracker, so am rubbish at the fun stuff )

Oo congrats! my gran used to be a gambler and she always said if you won a bit money, tell your partner but tell them less than what you got! For example, I would tell him I won £4K and keep £2K to myself so you can still treat yourself, and be sensible.

Excellent idea. I’d even go as far as to give him a grand to spend on whatever he wants.

Congratulations .

I suppose the question is would you be hurt if he won and didn't tell you? Also where would you hide the bags? .

This is why it was so hard to think what to do! I wpuld be ok if he kept it secret from me. But I do want to share it with him.
I think the first poster had the right idea, I’m going to tell him it was £4k and split that with him

Id probably do something like book a holiday with it for both of you say I won some money booked us a trip and I've bought myself a handbag (or whatever you want to buy) to take away with me

That’s actually a great idea. And we’d have a bit if spending money without feeling guilty

So I told Mr Lolz about the whole win. I just felt too bad. Bless him he was so happy for me. But I swore him to secrecy and then gave him £2k.
I feel so much better. I could nevwr live a life of crime just keeping this “secret” was too stressfull

I think i would be the same, I would love to stash some away for myself but weve always been so honest with money together it wouldnt feel right.

Enjoy your win, im jealously happy for you!!
