Should husband lets the wife manage his salary?

as for your question as the title of your discussion my answer is yes, the man should let his wife know of his salary. why not? i thought there are no secrets to a marriage. unless you're donald trump or bill gates you can go like, "honey, i'm not so sure about all of my salary but i'd give a call to my accountant and i'd let you know soon."

as for the bills piling up your wife would also suffer the interest piling up and that means less (although i know not significant decrease) in her shopping money. let her. although if you've grown up with no late bill payments like me it may start a fight. but unless you have a notice already then let her delay your money. she would also suffer the consequences anyway.

no. if she's on time with managing your bills then i guess it is ok. but clearly she's not. so i guess you split the responsibility. some she take care some you take charge of. let see how it goes.

I do not think that it's right that she does this because she's in a bad mood. I can understand that being in a bad mood can make you do some crazy things though, so I am not doubting her reasonings. I think though that you should have her give the money on a certain day and keep it to be given on that day so as to be on a schedule, so when she does get mad she may more likely give you the money. Do you think that she could be upset that she is no longer working and feels bad and doesn't feel as if you or the children appreciate all she does? Maybe you could ask her if she'd like to work part time or something of the sort, bringing it up without upsetting her.

My fiance and I have already decided that our money is our money, whether one or both of us is working we'll each have access to the money and neither will give money for this or that, but will tell "hey I want this, or hey I need that!". Most likely we'll be doing our shopping together as is as I don't drive, so everything that I buy he'll know of. We're trying to set up a reasonable system, or I think we will once we're required to be responsible for ourselves.

I appreciate this discussion, it's very good.

Im married but i dont ask how much my husband makes, he knows i am also working well and have stable work. We just share paying expenses but most of the times he is the one who cash out. I dont have a problem on it since i also bank my salary for the two of us.
We havent face angry conversation regarding money yet, but im hoping it wont be a serious problem in near future.
Happy mylotting and smile always!

WoW! it's so wonderful of you to do that, your wife must be very happy. seldom these days that husband's have that notion of making their wives feel secure by financial assurance. but anyways, that's some kind of issue you have there, you need to discuss the matter seriously with your wife..she must be very considerate about it since you have showed her enough to make her feel loved.

In my knowledge from marrying during the seminar
in church and after marriage the priest will say
that the wife should be the one to be a treasurer
in the family. For the husband will work to sustain
his family until forever.
But sometimes it depends upon you both who will manage it
smoothly. You can talk of it privately whose the best
from both of you will hold it.
In my experienced I am the one managing it. My hubby
remits his income during payday. We decided it that
I will be. It depends upon you.

My wife knows better than to leave bill paying to me. We would end up having our electricity, water, telephone and T.V. cut off if I were in charge. I have a credit card and buy what I want and she will give me 50 dollars for loose change every month. I pretty much know how much I can charge but if I should go over I will hear about it.

You are a very nice husband and your wife is very lucky to have. This is what most of the husbands never do regardless of the factor that the wife is working or not. Most of the wives doesn't know what is the salary or bank balance of their husband. It seems you have a good family life. Instead of putting the money in your wife's account, you can create a combined account and deposit the money there.

In my country most of the women are not working. So, some husbands (not many of them)create joint accounts and deposit their earnings. That is good because the wift will feel secure and happy. Otherwise she will feel her life is wasted for working at home, cooking and cleaning for the husband and kids.
