husband's salary goes all to the wife

Well, well, well, ammmhhhhppp.. I think it is not a good idea. Before I also wanted to get all the salary of my husband, because he doesn't know how to budget his own money and I believe, I am more capable of handling money than he knows. But lately I had realized that it is not good for the reason that he worked hard for it so he should have a greater control for it. I also know that most husband doesn't like their wives to hold all their income even for the benefit of the family. Let our husbands have the custody of their own money but we can ask from them or advice them if they're been very prudent.lol

Eh.. well I am not married yet so I will have to find out how this thing works! Ummm quite a things to learn then I guess hehehehe...

My husband loves it this way. He does not like to worry about the bills so he wants me to deal with it. Until recently I was OK with it but since the economy has been bad and it seems it takes every penny to make it I hate taking care of it all. We have been told that he should at least KNOW what we are paying out so if something happens to me he can deal with the bills. I have written it down and showed him. But he still has no interest in knowing. I'm not one who spends money frivolously so he doesn't worry about that. I am very conservative and am always looking for new ways to SAVE money!

I think it is better for the wife to hold on all the income. My husband gave me all of his bank accounts to handle. So when he gets the salary every month, I can withdraw it and then pay for the bills and also deposite to my bank account. Our savings are in my bank account and sometimes I can use it for the investment. I love China

It is very critical matter. As wife woman can help to make the budget of the family. But unwanted interfere may creates conflict. Some time husband want to hide a small part of their salary for some specific purpose. If such happens then I think wife should tolerate that.

Anny dear Not all in my case, all members in my family have their shares, as soon as i get my pension i put some in some recurring deposit accounts in the name of my wife, kids and grandkids, well my wife is sick, so i have to spend a good sum every month on her medicines, that's my basic duty as husband.. i also keep some money in an account to meet the expenses on gift to friends and beloved abroad.. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. Professor. .

I can see if she is a stay at home wife and he is a shopaholic and she needs to make sure their bills get paid. But if they Both work and he is good with money , then it isn't fair. they both should handle the bills. Unless , she is better with figures then I go back to saying it is ok.

household budget is shared between me and my husband. He pays for certain things and obligations and I for the other. We have an agreement on this before we got married. If one could not do his share, one takes over but only until the time she or he could assumes paying the obligations. It's a give and take agreement but I guess this only works if both are earning and working!

I don't think of that traditional practices

Its definitely not a good practice. Wife should be keep parts of the income but not entire. The husband shall be smart enough to take care of his financial need and make good use of the money instead of letting the wife to keep it.
