If you lent your paycheck to your wife, and she spent it, the family wouldn't be able to draw down that loan later when they retire.

If she didn't spending it? - Well you still can't count on the loan (the equivalent of the SS trust fund) as an asset, but what did she do with the money? Did she put it in the bank? Well then you have an actual bank account to draw on. The loan is still worthless but the bank account wouldn't be.

You "lent" your paycheck to your wife.

Tim is sort of old fashioned. Note in his response he doesn't even realize why you put lent in quotes...

If he were married, his wife would be on an allowance with Tim auditing her spending so she didn't spend it frivolously. And he would tell her who to vote for and decide who she could be friends with.
