For all you working women out there, let's talk about who manages the finances in your home.
In my household, there is one joint checking account which is used to pay the bills, one savings account and then we each have our own checking account that we manage. Basically my husband gives me money to pay the bills and it is paid from our joint account yet for some reason I need to hold on to my own money, in a separate account. The thought of combining everything stares me. I trust my husband but for some reason I need to see that I have something. I have money as an "I" and not a "We".
Is this method crazy?
I know women who combine everything once married and those who operate like we do. I say if our method is working...don't break it but I am curious to know if it was easy or hard for women to combine? Who's idea was it?
