Living in the same roof means that you share every finances in your family. But how do you deal with your finances? Do you put it together or separated?
It's one tough question, I know. But in my opinion, I think it depends on the amount of trust that you have in your partner and to yourself. You start asking yourself.. Are you a responsible person? Can you trust yourself to be totally honest and in integrity? Do you feel good on how to deal with money? To what extent do you trust your partner?
How about you? What do you think is the best choice when it comes into dealing with your finances?

Whats his is mine and whats mine is his. Everything that my husband and I own or have is ours. Even though he earns the paycheck and I stay at home taking care of my son, everything that we do with our $$ is decided together. We trust each other wholeheartedly. The only reason why I have a bank account and a credit card was to establish a credit here in the US. We have been married 6 years and it has been like this for four years :)

Hi, I am married for 3.5 years. We both are working. We have a house in our home town, for which I pay the loan amount. I also pay for the loan amount for a plot of land which we bought here.
My husband looks after all the household expenses and some other plot's loan. It all goes fine only because we have a clear understanding.
