Who handles the finances in your household?

I do. My wife wants nothing to do with it. It stresses her out.

Me.

Honestly I’m not sure

Me. My wife handles the sammiches

We both do.
She makes the money. I spend it

I take care of the finances but keep my wife in the loop and teach her as we go. The last thing you want to do is leave your wife and kids having to figure out how to pay the bills, where you keep money, and everything else if you were to die.

My wife is an accountant. She handles it. I haven't logged on or paid a bill in 10 years.

I love her doing it. I hate dealing with all that stuff. We discuss medium and big issue stuff of course.

I get my $450/month golf allowance. All I need.

When I was working, my wife took care of it and did pretty well. When I retired, she retired from that part of it. I don't mind it and I can be a more hands on with investments.

Wife stays at home with the kids, and pays the monthly bills. I work. She handles the “micro” finances (paying recurring bills, random bills like hospital bills). I handle the “macro” finances (investments, general budgets). We have a conversation about any single purchase over $150 bucks or so. Not a total grocery bill of that amount, but a single item. It works for us
