so Matt what did AWW say in reply I wonder ?
The answer may be more interesting that than questions Trying asked - which honestly are all too familiar - even today - for some women
I've seen this before. Not sure if it's fair dinkum. I had a friend who worked for ConPress about this time, and she did suggest they often made up letters to fill the column. A great Aus newspaper tradition BTW
And where did she get the money for the stamp anyway.
Ah yes, the good old days when women had a secret bank account to put what ever left over coins they could scrounge into an escape fund.
Also see, got sacked from her job when she got married.
My parents have friends that live like this today, with both peoples pensions being paid into the husbands account. Both retired and with only one home and a dire rental situation. I suggested they tell the wife to change her pension bank account to her personal one, but the situation is unchanged.
That's not good. If he dies the bank will freeze his account and she will have no access to money. Not even her own pension. She can open her own account and have her pension redirected but she's without funds in the meantime. She'd need to access some cash before she tells the bank he died.
I wonder how many people replied that she should get a part-time job outside the family home for her own 'pin-money'. And that's what kicked off the end of the marriage. And to think if the husband hadn't been so tight fisted, he would never have inspired her to leave.

Of course I’m being sarcastic. The thought of dividing income with one’s wife is stupid, to me.
I’ve always freely shared my income, even with girlfriends, once we’re living together.
