[quote=Anonymous]My mom was a SAHM. She was very involved with managing our family's budget and my dad was very clear that they were a team. I grew up watching them have a healthy attitude about money and making major life decisions/purchases together. My dad in particularwas emphatic about me marrying a man who would always treat me as his equal. Now I am in a dual income marriage. I make about 45% and DH makes about 55% of our HHI, but I have better retirement and healthcare options. All our money goes in one pot. If either of us get a bonus, we discuss jointly what to do with the money (usually pay down some student debt or put it in savings because we are fun like that)! Of course we have a budget for certain types of expenditures, but I would die if he ever "allowed" me to spend money on certain things. I can't imagine how any woman, working or SAH, would be okay with being treated as a child or employee within a marriage.[/quote]
