Money is one of the causes of marital conflict.Who handles family finances? Is it the wife or the husband At these times when both the husband and wife are working, do you have separate accounts when all funds must be conjugal?

[sassy_faith]

Both me & my husband are working....so we both handle the finances....we have a conjugal account. If ever I need money, i can get some anytime, even without his knowledge & vice versa. But I let him know that I took some money in our account. Trust lang for each other.

i'd also say both...both should know where the flow of the money goes para way away kng magka short2 na... i really learned a lot from my parents regarding these things...

[font=arial][b]I think its ideal that it would be both the husband and wife that should do it together, particularly if they're both earning money. This way pressures are alleviated, decisions can be made together without misgiving, and everybody gets a clear picture of where they are.

My family has only like two credit cards (I don't have one, don't trust 'em) and these mostly reserved for emergencies such as appliances and bills, only and only when both my parents decide to.

in our family, my mom handles the family finances, but if i'll soon have a family of my own, i would prefer that both my husband & i handle it.

I think when it comes to finances, it's better if the husband and wife will decide who will be the treasurer of funds. As with a company only one should handle the finances, transparency should also be there. Its better if the one who handles the funds knows how to budget. I have a relative whose husband is earning a lot abroad but he gives to his wife what he earns. His wife is a gambler and extravagant type. Wala gyud na save tawon even if hapit na muretire. In the book the millionaire next door, there was one thing common to millionaires when asked all their wives know how to handle money and are not into high consumption living.

im the one who handles family finances but i will inform my husband if ever naay e withdraw nga big amount sa bank but in normal cases dili man siya mo question kay trust man siya nako.
