I handle the planning, investing, budgeting, and keeping spending under control.

She handles the recurring bills. Although they are all on auto pay, she tracks them and pays them all off a couple days early (I have no idea why).

We have a good system going. Primarily we are both pretty frugal and want to get ahead

Primarily me, but my wife can be trusted to set up auto-pays, meet w advisors, pay one-off bills, etc. i do the taxes. I plan for any large cash outlays such as a car or contractor/construction. She leads on vacation planning. Neither one of us particularly like shopping or buy impulsively.

Most importantly, I hold the credir card when we are out drinking.

My wife pays all the bills but has no clue what is in any account we have other than checking. I do all the saving/investments and move the large sums of money around.

I just have no desire to keep up with all the bills. Checking just always has a couple K in it and she pays them.

Why would anyone let someone else be in charge of the money they make?

She is, but, has let herself go the past few years and doesn't want to do anything about it.

I'm too cheap to let her get plastic surgery.

Mostly my wife. She's a banker so when I do it she gets mad and takes over. Fine by me.

My wife has access to my checking account to fund operating expenses. She takes what she needs from my account, I manage the budget and invest.
