The one that doesn't have a hole in their pocket. The one with the most common sense that can also balance a check book. The one that can think and plan for the future and Gee !! wouldn't it be nice if both could come together on that. Then money has a purpose and a reason and doesn't become amunition in a dispute.The root of all evil. There are so many little ways in which one can save money and believe me they ad up. My Dear Mother use to say "A penny saved is a penny earned". I am a woman and she also told me that "if a man marries the wrong woman, that woman can throw more out the back door than the man can bring in the front door." That stayed with me. When we first got married 53 years ago, my husband found every reason to trade cars soon as the last note was paid. I said "We are never going to be able to start saving if we are constantly makin car payments. He agreed and that was our start. Later on we had enough saved to pay cash and save all that interest. Our 5 children were the only ones in school that could raise their hand when asked."Is there anyone here whose parent doesn't live with on going credit cards ? We never paid interest. You didn't ask but that is such sound advice, I just had to give it.
Good Luck to you in your marriage and I hope it is a christian union. Ours hasn't always been but the part that was is the very best. Have a Wonderful Christmas and A Peaceful New Year !!! |

Both. In every married couple's financial affairs, there should always be two financial allocations if you ask me. Each of the two should have a shared account and a private one, especially since more often both man and wife are responsible for income.
It is therefore natural that couples share a common financial management, but there are always things that each of them would want to do, which the other probably would not consent to. Of course, they both have to be heedful to provide equally, more or less, maintaining their living standards, before deciding what sums to put aside for individual disposal (as long as that is within legal; decent; humane, and other agreeable purposes).
Therefore, that money has to be entirely separate from that which is commonly shared, not to affect the stability of the assets sustaining family welfare and way of life. Individual privacy is an essense in my life, even within marriage, and so that's the way I'd run the show, making that premaritally known to and approved by my spouse. |

The person who is best at managing the finances should manage the finances. |

The one who is better at it would be the reasonable answer, but it should not be left up to one person. It is a great burdon and it is something that should be handled together. It's like asking which one should be responsible for parenting. |

Whichever one handles money the best, and has the time to do so. ;) |

A marriage is a partnership totally. Both adults should equally manage the finances. |

The finacial manager should be whoever is better at kepping track of the bills and the check books and credit card usage,keep in mind that all of the decisions should be made with the other spouse nowing about what is gouining on,If you or they try to hide something it could become a finaciall or mariage disaster. |

simple answer....
whoever is best at it, and whoever is the least likely to spend money badly.... simple as that.
no sexual discrimination needed |

Whoever is more responsible with money, can set a budget, and see that the family sticks to it. (Hint, this will probably be the one with the higher credit score if you can't decide).
A second choice may be whoever has more time, but may be disastrous if they are not good with money in the first place. |

If your hubby has 1/2 a brain and has to take his shoes off in order to count to 20, better let him do it, you'll be to busy cheating on him,,,,,just kidding, of course the one you want in charge is the one who can manage the income, people that love to spend money aren't always good at managing it,,,Its kinda like this women buy what they need and men buy what they don't need, don't send a child into a candy store with a dollar and tell him he can only spend 25 cents, say goodbye to that dollar, if your good at math and don't need to buy everything you see you should be taking care of the business end, almost a no-brainer. |

who ever is best at it. I think that often is the females job. somehow we can take care of it and make sure the family has everything they need. men sometimes aren't so responsible. but this is from a females point of view, so... |

Marriage is a partnership so there should be no leader or manager. You work together to achieve common goals and work seperately for your own objectives on whatever ratio of disposable income you both agree to. |

Who ever can do it better. Sometimes women can, and some times men can because one of them has a better knowledge and advantage. Either way, enjoy being married, and love eachother, don't stress on the finances.

Whoever is good at doing it.. My ex-husband would do it b/c I worked and he had the extra time to manage the money. Now I do it. All I can say is, keep it simple.. |
