Are you the ultimate decision maker

I would like to answer, but I haven't received permission yet.

I'm hopeful maybe tomorrow I can get back to you guys.

It was decided that this post was funny.

I did not make this decision

Ever notice it used to be called "head of household"?

Or at work it was "boss" or "in charge"

Now both are "decision maker". :shrug:

great thread.. Something I never really thought about...

Lucky for me I married someone ten times smarter than me and she makes a good living. (Bio Medical Engineer) We actually have separate bank accounts but share a savings account. So she kinda buys whatever she wants its her money. I do the same.

I have a buddy who signs his paychecks over to his wife and she controls all finances.. Poor bastard had to call his wife and ask her if he could buy himself a pair of dress shoes for work for god sakes. :facepalm:

I take care of most of the big bills like the mortgage, taxes, HOA dues and insurance. She usually pays the utilities and her car. We have never really talked about anything it just gets done.

We split daycare. 1700 a month!:sadwave:

When it comes to buying the big stuff like TVs and furniture we talk about it first but im always the one breaking out the checkbook.

We've got several good friends who have this type of arrangement and it works for them. I personally just don't get it. Marriage to us is a partnership and with a partnership comes sharing. The above makes marriage more of business transactions than anything else. I can't picture it...honey, I paid the water and power so you need to pick up the directv. No knocking it, whatever works, works but I think it goes against the point of marriage.

I'm the same, saint. Why would you have separate banking accounts?
