Who controls the finances in your family?

For me, it's both parents. My dad has full access to the checkbook (s) and accounts, but as far as the actual check writing, and the mailing of bills, that will fall to my mom. They're both a part of major decisions concerning the finances. I think in the world of managing marital finances, each spouse should know their place and then things should work pretty smooth.

So who controls the finances in your family? And how would you feel about letting your spouse handle your finances if you happen to make more money than he/she?

 

In my family my mother controls the finance.

 

it used to be my daddy...when he was at work and my mum stayed at home looking after us like a 'siew lui yun' kekeke......but then as we got older....my mum took over and she now handles the finances

 

my daddy loh

 

My mother for the family and me for myself.

 

Gotta love me mommy who handles all the headaches.

 

Both my parents do, although usually it's my dad who pays the bigger expenses like the rent and stuff, but my mom has a say in it too ofcourse. They both have veto right. Even I have veto right in some cases haha! And I control my own finances ofcourse.

 

i control my own finances =)

 

^is that why you are broke?

 

ya yo...hook me up with a job in chicago

 

come down to Chicago, I'll show you a good time.

 

i got ma girl to show me a good time in chi town......give me some money man lol

 

Don't even bring your girl here, she would leave you for me.

 

for some reason my dad always has cash on him but my mom is armed with a checkbook. hahaha. so both i guess.

 

Any man that makes more money than his wife but lets her take the dominant position in handling their financial matters needs to get his head checked.

 

my mama....

 

my mum cause my dad always gambles lol.

 

i would say is my dad

 

im trying to take over
not exactly working, cos i just wanna make more money with the minimal money i haf
and that means extra high risks, and im unwilling to do it lol
><

 

Both but mainly my dad for more important things.
