• I would have chosen other if it was available. But I picked No. Although I consider it both out money we both run pricey purchases past eachother. I actually am the one who handles all the money so he has to run the purchase by me to make sure the funds are available while I will buy what I want as long as the money is there. I try to always run it buy him to agree on the purchase but this doesn't always happen. i wouldn't abuse this, i only buy things we need or both talked about at one point of getting. I wouldn't blow it.

• I manage our finances.  If he needs to make a purchase over a few hundred dollars he lets me know so I can adjust what goes into savings.  I let him know what I have spent especially if I got a good deal on something and we regularly talk about our finances.  Neither one of us asks the other to spend money because we have a firm grasp of our finances and know what we can spend.

  In our house I manage all the finances.  So if anyone is "asking" for money, it's him asking me.

• Its both of ours and we always do the finanaces together...however if there is something I want or I need money for I will ask just because Im curtious to him and letting hm know whats going on with the money. We both always have plans for it so we have to communicate to make sure we dont both spend it and not have enough for bills. I also am more proactive about doing the budget and Im the one reminding him of the bills and what has to be paid when.

• We tell each other what we want/need to buy so that we both know were the money is going.

  If I need cash and I don't have any I will ask him if he has any and he does the same to me if I have cash and he doens't .

• I stay home during the day and work part time at a coffee house on some nights of the week so I do make money to. Although our budget is really tight so I still ask out of respect for our over all family budget. We are savers and I love that about us if we can't afford it we don't get it.

• He works and I raise our son. He works long hours because he wants me to be home with our son. No, I do not ask him for money. I'm the one that pays the bills and balances the checkbook.

• Ok...so I guess somebody had to be the one who has to ask for money. DH may leave me like $6 a day..yet I'm the one who stays at home raising his 4 children, cooking, cleaning and the man still acts as though I owe him !! Somebody had to be that person, might as well be me.
