She thinks that woman should keep money in family. So, she always inquires her husband give money to her. She keeps them for family fees and she almost doesn't leave money to him again :). If he needs money for private spending, he must earn more. He used to borrow money me many times, even his wife has much !
I don't think that this view is well. I like the clarity and openness in this regard in the family. So, I and my husband keep money together.
How about you?

Keeping money of yours are well. But you know, you sometimes can't earn enough for family. So, both of you and your husband must keep a general amount to care family. Fee for family is quite big.

The wife should always keep the money for budgeting of the household expenses, but she should give also extra money for the husband for his own expenses.Men mostly are not good in keeping their finances because they always spend a lot and they do not think about the value of the money.

Right. Men spend quite much money, because they have many things to do. So, woman should give extra money to them.

I think that people must each keep a little bit of $ for themselves that they are in charge of. They said have, in my opinion, also a mutual account for things like rent, child related stuff, utilities and so on. This is how a plan to run my partnered house.

I like your views. You're right that everyone should keep a little amount for private charge. But we should have a general amount for family and saving.

The same to you. I and my wife keep the money together, and we trust one another. there is nothing I hide from here in terms of finance. We have been together for many years, thank God, we have been going on well so far.
When we have a financial problem, we both solve it together. You too?

My ex(he is my ex but not because of finaces) and I had a joint checking account for household bills and then we both had seperate accounts for individual purchases. This system worked pretty well for us. A lot of marriages have one partner paying the bills etc. and the other has no idea what is going on. I have even heard of widows, that could not write a check on their own. I don't think it is a good idea to depend on your partner that much. If anything happens,then they are lost on their own.

i dont agree with being finances in one hand of either.it should be a combined effort to save and spen money reasonably.as per personal spendings is concerned a pocketmoney can be fixed for every month and i completely agree with the transparency issue of finances atlast both are equally responsible to their family and will be effected equally due to mismanagement of funds.
right now i m not the earning member as my kid is just 8 mnth old my husband is earning but whenever we are for some spendings we do consult and then we move further..
