Who should handle family finances: The husband or the wife?

I'd say that as much as possible, dunay separate accounts ang couple wherein they could spend for their own needs and another joint account wherein they get to share the household expenses.

this is what me and my wife actually do. since we both have jobs, each of us is responsible for specific expenses. since i earn more, i pay for the groceries, school fees, yaya's salary, vitamins and medicine of the kids, car expenses and telephone bills. my wife pays for the electricity and the cooking gas.

so, if we have excess money from our salary, we either deposit it in our separate personal accounts, and sometimes in our joint account. the joint account is used to pay for rather big expenses like birthdays or purchase of appliances.

the personal account is useful since it cannot be avoided that our parents or siblings sometimes ask for our assistance, and this might be a source of conflict.

the important thing is that we both know how much the other spouse earns, so we can say that the splitting of expenses is just fair.

i think it should be both. you can't just randomly assign such an important responsibility just because he's the husband and she's the wife. i think everything should be discussed in detail over coffee or tea. a good topic for late night starbucks moments.

it depends on situation... as long kung kinsa kamao mo handle og money siya moy mokopot

para nako, it's the job of a wife... tanan income sa husband kay dili na sya ang tag-iya kundi ang wife na. nagsugod na nga obligation right after the man marriied his wife..

pero depende rapud sa sabot kay naa man pud mga wife nga dili pa kabalo mu dala ug kwarta.. ang importante jud ana kay ang transparency bisag kinsa pay magdala sa kwarta...
