You,your wife/husband or the kid? Or may be your car? What do you give money for mostly? Why? Do you think you can economise? On the other hand - who does the shopping and who pays the bills. In my family my dad pays the bills and my mom does the shopping. How about you?

My mother spends the most money in our family but she is also the one who earn the most. She deserves to spend as much as she wanted to because she works really hard =)

I spend the most! I've moved out, so I do everything: earn, pay the billz, etc. I just recently asked money from parents because I got sick. But ever since I moved to my country's capital, I've been on my own, generally. :)

in my family its me who spends the most. My husband hardly has any expenses and he relies on me for most of the purchases needed to be made for him and the family as a whole. This trust of his in me also gives me some extra responsibility to see that money is not wasted and is spent judiciously for productive purposes.

I both earn and spend! Since I moved to my country's capital, I've taken care of my bills and myself. Worked, earned, spent, gotten broke, earned some more, spent some more.. The only time I asked for money from my parents was when I got sick last week. Other than that, I hadn't asked for money in a long time! I think people the younger generations really spend a lot. I know I do. I know friends who have racked up huge credit card debts. Maybe it's because we were raised in an "I-want" world, that's why..

Well lets see. We spend the same amount of money. We put some of both our paychecks in an envelope for bills. I pay the bills but with both our money. I do the shopping as well. He goes and I get what I need. We try not to spend money we dont have. Like just cuz the kids want a new toy dosent mean they will get one. Some weeks we are so broke we have enough for groceries and thats about it.

I'm the only breadwinner & I pay all the bills. Fortunately, hubby is a pretty low-maintenance guy. ;)
