How do you (or should you) handle the spending of the couple's earnings.
Should you join salaries on paper, make a budget as a committee;each
pledge to finance certain projects; just buy what your partner left out
or the man just give all his earnings to his wife? Any other ideas?

Any more, it is going to be every man (and woman) for him (her)self.

Ok I am a weirdo, if I ever am in a relationship again. I would hand
over my paycheck, say you pay the bills. As long as I can see where the
money goes to, and know that things are being paid I would have no
problem doing that. Just give me the money needed for grocery shopping,
and some pocket money for my books.....

My late husband, and my ex both gave me their paychecks..and I handled
all the finances, groceries, gas, and if any was left he got it for
whatever he wanted. The finances were always on the table so he knew
exactly where every cent went to...My checks always went for groceries
and gas..mostly anyway.

We had a seperate bill account that was joint and our own checking
accounts.(not joint)We put an agreed amount from our checks each week in
the bill account.The rest was to do with what we pleased.This way the
bills got paid first.

My opinion...I think in a first marriage (where both parties are on the
young side)...both paychecks combine, pay bills, save money for house,
etc. If that marriage ends in divorce or otherwise, next relationship
would be different. Separate accounts for each and one joint accont,
most likely. Just my opinion.

How about a little sugar mama
who treats you in the manner
in which you would like to
become accustomed.
