As far as mechanics (who writes the checks) she's responsible for most of the day-to-day stuff; I usually handle big-ticket things like replacing the water heater & vet bills. The money's in a bunch of different accounts, but I think we both think of it as one pool to draw from; who pays is as much a question of timing as anything.
Me, as the man of the house!!!!!
We have both made great improvements with how we deal with our money. In our relationship I have been the more frugal, but we both recognize the importance of saving especially in planning our wedding.
She does because I have a very hard time with numbers and balancing equations. I'm more of a written results kind of person. Not numerical.
We both do I guess we have different accounts I give him money for the week, then I stay with some portion of it for the week. the other goes to our savings then the last account is our bills.
I think I am more of a spender...I am addicted to shoes....and handbags.....and clothes.
Me! I am always looking at our finances and he's a bit more care free so we definitely balance each other out.
She does. I would rather live in a world where money didn't exist.
He makes it a responsibility to make the money and I take it to have responsibility over it.
I do, cause in a little older and have made mistake already, so I know what not to do.
I do. He helps when he can
Me but she's learning. :-)
True that I'm more of a penny pincher :). We are both responsible, however. I guess the way we deal with money might change after April when we get married. More to talk about on that.
We both are
Well I'd have to say that we both can be irresponsible sometimes with money an spend money on things we want and not need. But we also pay our bills in full and on-time. When we lived together tho, I was responsible for making sure the bills were paid.
