instant_karma | For the ladies, married or single...who handles the finances in your relationship? |
I'm not used to someone else wanting to handle my money and my live-in boyfriend (who is much better with finances) wants me to hand over my check and him handle it. Now again, he's better with it but it's hard for me and I wanted some other stories! Thanks! |

I'm married, and we kinda both do. We openly discuss our finances every day, he gets a "limit" for how much he can spend on lunch during the week so we dont' run under and also because we have two kids and never know when we'll be seeing the pediatrician. Even a couple of $20 copays and prescriptions can make a difference in a family's budget. I usually pay the bills, but we discuss how much goes to the credit cards each month, etc. Sometimes I'm in charge of the cable bill and sometimes he is if he's got less to do than I do. Do whatever you have to do to keep out of debt though. It's hard giving up total control, but just communicate and he'll gladly inform you of your financial status. :) |

Im married and handle the finances in our relationship. My husband is not very good at keeping track of bills & managing the money. Have you ever considered getting a joint banking account? This way you both have access to the account. |

I grew up with my mom handling the finances. My older sisters husband does all of theirs since she was 19 so if anything ever happened to him she would be completely lost. I believe it is something you should do together. Paying bills online together takes no time at all and then you can both have a say in your money. |

he works, i'm on welfare, i support me and my son, he supports himself but sometimes we split groceries and i cook for him...he helps me out if i get down, we try to keep it separate because we had our separate stuff before we hooked up a few months ago. we split the rent, utilities, etc, he pays a couple of the bills himself because he makes more than me obviously. |

Stand your ground. Understandably he is better with money but regardless this is your money. I have never understood couples that do this. One gives the other an 'allowance', that's inplying that you are incompetant to budget your income wisely. If he trusts you he should understand that you are capable of controlling your paycheck.
A relationship is a union of two people correct? Then why can't the finances be controlled by both people. Both parties should have a say as to where the money is going. One person should not be soley in charge of the finances. |

I've been married 24 years. We have combined our finances from day one. We have one checking accnt, one savings accnt. etc. He hates paying the bills, so I have always taken care of that. It has always worked out well for us. Good luck! |

if every decisoion on how the money is spent is agreed upon by both of you. Then it shouldn't be a problem. But if he just takes the money and spends it how he want's with out giving you a say. Don't do it.
With my sister it's just the oppisit her husband gives her his check and she handles the money. But no money is spent unless both know about it. |

My hubby and I share the responsibility. We have one joint account that the bills are paid out of, and we each have our own separate accounts for just miscellaneous crap that we may want. I actually take care of making sure the bills are paid, but we BOTH put money into the joint account to take care of them. |

I think that handing over your finances to someone other then your husband is a mistake. If he was your husband then yes because you both are responsible for bills but I don't think that just one person should have the reign over the checkbook.
Who's to say he won't screw you over at least if your married everything is community property that means what's your is his to and whats his is yours to. Right now you don't ahve that so you can hand it over but an you might just be living on a prayer. "Oh please don't let him ever run off with my money " |

I am on second marriage. We each work and have our own separate bank accounts, and one joint for joint expenses like the mortgage, light bill, etc. For 8 years he handed me his paycheck and I paid all the bills, and he went to the ATM for cash when he needed it. Then I got sick of doing it and now he pays them electronically, out of our joint account, and I go to the ATM when I feel like it. I have my own Credit card to do with as I please, but so does he. Neither of us is a big spender, but we like being able to buy things for each other (or ourselves)without the amount being known.
I recommend that every woman have her own money no matter how nice her mate is, or how much she trusts him. Probably a hold over from the days when women let their husbands do it all and often got ripped off in a divorce.
Don't ever let yourself feel like you are incapable of understanding your own finances. There are plenty of easy guides out there, like the DUMMIEs series, to help educate you. |

I am married. I handle the finances because I am better at than he is. If he was better at, I would let him. But being that you are not married, I would sit down with him and both of you go over it. Until there is a legal commitment, my money is my money. I wouldn't let a boyfriend have control of my boyfriend. |
