Husband is an ostrich. Head in the sand. Doesn't want to know. Only complains because I think he spends to much but since it's "my job" than I should figure it all out.

Yes. I realize we have other issues.

DH here. I do all everything money-related. If I left it up to DW, our bills, taxes, budget, and savings would be a total mess. The sad thing is DW doesn't acknowledge this contribution to the family because I do it all in the background.

me, the dw. I am a SAHM, and manage everything, including managing money. And spending it. And investing it. And figuring out and scheduling home improvements or renovations. Getting cars repaired. Everything child-related, everything social-schedule-related, home maintenance, groceries, cooking... I'm starting to think I need DH to step up on a few of these things so I can go back to school and find a job.

DW here and I do it, though not with as much finesse as I would like since my DH is a spender. But at least we are saving these days.

Mostly DH, he pays the bills, manages the kids' college funds, tracks credit card purchases, etc.

We both handle money related items equally.

I'm a DW. I do the money. Have a five year budget and track all long term investments. Pay all bills. Monitor income. Assign allowances for spending money.

DH and I make joint decisions about any purchase or investment more than $500.

Who's the lead in your house for financial matters? Just curious.
