My mom handles all the money. My dad keeps a little for himself but the rest goes to my mom to use at her discretion. They learned while growing up together that she was better with money than he was.
When they made that adjustment, they did better financially and have been doing very well for the past couple of yrs. Bills get paid, money gets saved, credit score increases, they do better.

So my dad feels that whoever is better with money should be the one to control it. It takes trust but they've been married for 44 yrs and it's been working. He's like me and we just hate dealing with mail, paperwork, bills.

So when I get married I'd be like my dad. I'd prefer hubby to deal with the financial side if he can be trusted with it.

50/50 on the rent, otherwise sometimes he buys me dinner/gifts and sometimes I buy him dinner/gifts.
We have a joint account and we each have a personal account.

I'll park here to learn something.

After dealing with someone who made so much more than me yet my savings surpassed his...I can't possibly trust shyt will get done. But good read so far..

I was in the barbershop last week (coincidentally right after I got married) and a breh was speaking on it with input from a brehette

the breh said that everything should be 50/50 on bills, and then he keeps what he has in his own separate bank account, she keeps her own separate bank account and then they have a joint account

The brehette disagreed, stating that she wanted her husband to take care of mostly everything, on a 70/30 instead of a 50/50, and she keep her finances to use as she pleased. And then if husband needed her to contribute, she would

how do coli married folks view this?

Everything goes in one pot. All bills paid out of one pot . Individual purchases over 100 bucks need to be discussed before hand. It works for me because me and my wife are high wage earners . Nobody is tripping on what the other brings in.

Works for us

I'm your dad basically, I'm not good with remembering to pay bills, so the wife handles all that, I use the mint App to track all spending we have multiple accounts so it's easier for me to glance and see what goes on. However I handle all the extra investments

this is how my wife and I handle it because, quite frankly I get very "fukk the white man and his fukkn bills" way to often.

My wife don't succumb to that shyt so its better that she manage paying them b*stards. We discuss important shyt of course but honestly, unless were talking about a major purchase like a car, vacation, daycare i couldn't care less what she spend money on. All I need is enough for gas and a game every once in a while.

we both live in the same house, eating the same meals, and raising the same damn kids lol. No point in complicating things.

We split everything and have two separate bank accounts. Works for us.

My husband pays all the big stuff and I pay the small stuff because I spend more money than him on other things.

the man should take care of everything because men generally make more anyway, if I need extra I can get it from her
