I don't think any ONE person should be in charge of the money. Two financially responsible people should make decisions about what and how to handle your finances. Susan and I both decide how and when to spend what we had
I saw have a shared account where 80% of each others earnings goes into to handle the big things like rent, mortgage, car payments, food, utilities, etc.
Then keep 20% in a private account to do whatever you want with.
A relationship is a two way street, and whatever concerns the relationship has to be mutually discussed. The decisions should be in the best interest of the relationship.
It really depends on the couple and their financial situation. My boyfriend handles the money because he pays for almost everything. I'll occasionally get us coffee or ice cream but considering he makes 4x my salary he pays for pretty much everything.
I'd say whoever is better at managing there accounts.
I have learned no joint account again! In my current relationship I'm not sure who is better but I have a spreadsheet with all my monthly outgoings already entered so I just bang my pay in on payday and I then know what little I have left!
Couples financial decisions should be of made of mutual decisions with one person taking lead on the execution of specific actions. With the idea that both parties are involved in the making and execution of financial goals.
The exception is when an individual abdicates the responsibilities to the other and is willing to accept the outcome of the decisions, both good and bad. But hopefully the individual taking the lead is making decisions with the others goals in mind.
I'm and will continue to be so in our household. Right now, we solely depend on my income because she is a student and her study allowance is only being saved, however, once she do begin to earn, I guess we will continue the same way.
Over the past two years I use a spreadsheet to calculate all our expenses (every single penny) and it's been awesome to know once spending, income and how many trips per year we can accomplished!
Whoever is best at dealing with money should be in charge of the money. If they both are equally good with money, then the person that occasionally splurges is disqualified from having the esteemed job of relationship treasurer. Hey, I'm shrewd but I'm fair.
Whoever would be better at it. And it's okay to split the duties as well. In our marriage, I handle all of the money aside from the stocks, which my husband handles.
I'm not handing responsibility for my money over to any partner. Being in charge puts you in control of the other person and thats rarely a good thing.
Couples and married couples should be in charge of their own money. Combining finances only makes things more complicated especially come the divorce where men will lose far more than the woman. Find someone who pays for their own stuff. Find someone who didn’t want to combine their bank account with yours. If you do combine accounts into one you’re asking for trouble. Just don’t do it

Definitely not my ex wife.

My mum handles the finances and distributes paychecks for a living, you better believe she's in charge of the money at home.
It should always be whoevers best with the money
Both but if one really sucks at it, the more responsible one should be in charge.
But constantly communicate about how much money you both have, and keep good records.

It is good for me, i'm always in charge, wherever i'm present! 😄
Remind me not to get on the same plane
Why is that? You don't trust me? 😏
True, true.
Couples and married couples should be in charge of their own money. Combining finances only makes things more complicated especially come the divorce where men will lose far more than the woman. Find someone who pays for their own stuff. Find someone who didn’t want to combine their bank account with yours. If you do combine accounts into one you’re asking for trouble. Just don’t do it
No one should be in charge. We have our own personal accounts and a joint account for bills and rent. Works for us.
Whoever is better at organizing the money in a relationship, or if they can't agree then they can each keep handling their own money.
It should be joint controlled as far as any money earned during a marriage. Outside of marriage each person should control their own money.
If she spending $5000 per month on hair, nails, make up, clothes, eating out and credit cards maybe the man.
Nobody I would have my own bank account I don’t do sharing money
What if your a housewife miss lauren? 🙂
@TonyMetal___86 I am not going to be a housewife I spend too much time at home already ☺️
Okay 😏
@TonyMetal___86 or maybe I will I don't know yet depends on the situation
In both ways, you're always going to be that sweet angel 😌
@TonyMetal___86 thanks ☺️
whoever is the most responsible or just both take care of their own $ stuff seperately
Whoever is the most responsible with it. Most people in a marriage have a bank account together and their separate ones.
