My hubby does here. He does all the bills and the budget. I don't want do to do it. He has always done it. When I get a job hopefully in Sep. I will take out my part for the things I need and put the rest in the pot.
I was thinking about having my own acount. Should I? I don't know.
My husband also takes care of the budgeting and bills. he just gives me the money to be spent for groceries and for the kids. There's no problem opening your own account, at least you'll have money on the side if emergency arises.
I take care of all of the bills. He spends what he needs to and I spend what I need to - and as long as there's money available, there's not a problem.
