Who wears the financial trousers? Poll discussion.

'D'.

I handle everything financial and budgetary. But I always discuss what I am going to do first and make sure he is happy with my decisions.

And twice a year I spend a day on my own going through all our suppliers and our outgoings to make sure I am getting the best deals.

He hasn't a clue what is involved, especially all the time and research that goes into moneysaving.

None of the above

I do it all, but I'm not the main "woman" in the household

D for me too. My DH signs anything I give him, and trusts me 100%. I'm a bank managers daughter he say's money saving is in my blood!!

Its C in our house for everything financial, I do it all, sorry not all the shopping though;) . From the votes at the present women outdo men at 2 to 1, when will other men post their views I wonder.
Anyway Martins site is a great help all round.:money:

Once again its me (wife) who deals with everything financial. Hubby has just been made redundant - cheque went into his account and then transferred straight away into other accounts in my name (only for tax reasons). Ive written everything down and try to keep him up to date but really he isnt that bothered.

We share everything so E.

'D' in this house too..... and I must admit I was surprised by the voting....

I do everything.... OH hasn't got a clue and isn't really interested as long as he has enough money to spend (then he starts on mine!) He also thinks I am to anal about money and that MSE is a cult...... he still has some way to go!

The wife used to look after things got tired of working so hard now I do it.
Never had so much money, where do I go from here a younger model perhaps?

Got to say in our Household all she does is spend it.
I sort out the vast majority of the finances, with some discussion when required. She goes to sleep if I try to talk money for more than about 2 minutes.

i think a combination of C + E , i pay all the bills + food and hols , my wife pays for extra food , kids clothes , dance lessons and family treats etc . if i left her in charge of our finances we'd make northern rock look like spare change
