[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I handle everything and [b]make the decisions on how much we spend on vacations, houses, toys, stuff for kids (even tutoring and services)[/b]. I never spend more than we have. Our taxes are always paid. We have a nice life. And that’s in part because I manage the money.

I have everything on autopay which I review once a year. We’ve had some big medical bills for mental health care for one of our kids and I made all of the decisions about what our kid would get and how we would pay for it. That was probably the closest we ever came to a discussion on money but I shut it down because I knew we would never be able to live with ourselves if we prioritized anything over that.

Takes a lot of trust to live this way but it’s worked for us for over 30 years.  If it matters, I’m the wife and we’ve both worked throughout the marriage bringing in about the same money if you consider the life of the relationship - sometimes one made more than the other but over time it evened out.

I handle everything but this is something I don't do. I always let my DW know before I do something family/household related. [/quote]
