I think it can create problems if the couple doesn't look at everything as both of theirs
Yes, they become an issue.
This subject is the most sensitive subject. I Can't even touch things in the store we can't afford to buy.
Not really :) as long as person has an irreplaceable role money doesn't matter
It can be but it isn't a problem in my relationship.
As long as respect for the others career is not predicated on how much income it generates, no.
I'm not that sure, but I intend to make something comfortable for the both of us.
No it's not a problem I don't think it will be.

They can, but only if the members of the couple in question don't talk about these things.
Yes I'm a stay at home mom with two kids and I try to find ways to earn money from there like I dogsit or trade in clothes and he works full time and we've often had issues with him saying i don't do anything when I think I do a lot
Yes!! I'm broke...He's broke....So we're broke!
