You've saved some money? Do you share your saving?

I've started an account with top cash back after hearing about it on this site. Last night I mentioned to my OH I've got nearly £120 in there - to which he replied am I sharing it?

Cos he pays for 1/2 the pet insurance he should benefit from the cashback for this??

This is the only purchase that is something joint between us, everything else is mine.

I'm using my tcb money for Christmas, so I'll give him his £10 then!!

Anyone else sharing?

(obv on our joint bills I've always passed on any saving I've made)

Seems a bit petty for a tenner!

When we do the pot, we both put it in so we share it when it's opened. Is only fair after all.

Hmm - well, any cashback that I get for purchases I have made for me / my family / friends / pay for with 'my' money... I keep. But anything that is bought for us / the house / or paid for on the joint CC goes into the house account. But as I am on a mission at the mo to clear the OD on the house account, virtually every penny cashback is going in there!

i earn more than my OH, so my sealed pot, extra money made etc is going into the joint account savings.

i have no problem with this cause i know he is paying all he can and working extra hours to add more to [STRIKE]my[/STRIKE] our dream home deposit savings

Hi (again)

My hubby and I have joint finances. Although I manage them all and to be fair he doesn't know what I do or pay from one day to the next he just knows it gets done! I have a sealed pot which I have been putting a pound a day in since 1st Jan and although the challenge is to open it 31st Dec I think we will open ours on the 1st Dec as we are going on our first family hol / christmas break in December...

I also have a Christmas Savings, I have been paying £10 a week into this since 1st Jan so there is £70 in it at the mo... Hubby has no idea about this - mainly because if I did he would find a reason to "need" the money before December so it will be a pleasant surprise for him in December when its Christmas and were normally struggling and I will be able to go "dont worry - I have saved this throughout the year" and I will share with him, but then as I say our finances go into the same account anyway so he is actually contributing... he just doesnt know it

We now have completely joint finances. The only 'individual' money we have is if we are given any for Christmas or birthday, as well as the £50 each of 'spends' we give ourselves each month. I kept my finances separate, then partially separate for a long time after we married, but once we had tackled our debts together as a team, it seemed a good time to merge our money together and as the chief budgetter, I have to say it's a lot easier to keep in control of everything.
