Who do you think should handle the family's finances? The husband or the wife?

Well friend,I think both husband and wife have to tackle that.Although I dont have any experence but I think they both have to think about the family.

I think you're right,it should be with constant consultation.At first I used to handle the finances but somehow,I tend to spend on useless things and forget about the essentials,thereby putting a strain on our relationship.Now we're better off when I let my wife handle the finances and me just concentrating on making money.But of course,we don't spend without consulting each other.

Hello! it is an interesting topic that every body should be aware of.it is an accepted truth that the ladies are more capable of home management including the financial matter.so a free hand should should be allowed to the wife for management and the husband should handle the external affairs,i mean, he should take care of earning and look to the comforts of the family.thank you very much and all the best.
