Anybody else keep significant other out of the loop as far as savings are concerned? I don't have any ulterior motives, but I just know my wife, and if she knew we had the amount I save up available, she'd want to use it. I never know how to feel about this. I just want to make sure we can actually retire.

Kinda.

I mainly keep her out of the loop on things savings. We share a YNAB budget, so as long as things conform to that, its pretty mindless for her. In reality we're saving at a solid clip, so I'm pleased. She has full access as our savings is linked to our shared checking, but I dont think she ever really looks at it. I have had to shoot down some big vacation wants / ask her to keep her dress purchases within budget constraints, but its all in the open.

As GoGoGadgetChris said - she doesnt really know much about it, but I wouldnt lie on account values.
