My wife wants to get a car loan, but she's a stay-at-home mom. Can she list my income to get the loan?

“While you undoubtedly share bank accounts and other financial assets, your wife cannot list your income for a
car loan
.
That said, you could apply for a loan as co-borrowers. To do this, you need to have a steady income and a good credit score, and both your and your wife’s credit score will increase over time. It’s important to research which banks will permit these loans, as not all institutions will provide this option.
Once you’ve secured a loan, you’re going to need the right car insurance to protect your investment.
