[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first year of me not working was a bit strange financially.  Usually I just put everything on the credit card and when I needed money I would tell my husband or he would check my balance and move money in there.  Then, he changed jobs and accidentally gave them the joint instead of his account so we just transitioned most everything to the joint and slowly I started paying all the bills out of that to make it easier for him.  I pretty much have control over the money.  He more manages the investments for both of us but I deal with the daily stuff.  He rarely you buys for himself and I buy most of his clothes and what he needs.  We may talk about something big but as long as I do not overspend he could not care less.   Most years we will try to put money in an Ira for me and we do make sure I have savings so in case something happens t him I have easy access to money to keep us going.  He is far more worried about me financially long term since I am not working and we got him more life insurance to make sure I can pay off the house.

It is a strange adjustment when you have two accounts and divide things up.  Both of you will get used to it and find a way that works. [/quote]

You sound like his assistant, not his wife.[/quote]

I was thinking mother.  Assistant works too though.[/quote]

Why is it a big deal to take care of the money and shopping?  He hates shopping.  I get better deals.  I would rather him spend his time with us than shopping.  [/quote]
