How much money is fair to hand up at home

Hi It seems that you have found a very fair way of doing things. We do something very similiar... Out of my bank account I pay all the bills. Olya then takes care of the Supermarket Shopping. After that, if we want to go out, it depends on where we go, what we do, and who pays! Seems to work for us!

i think he should give you all the money and you give him some when he needs it

Sounds like a great thing u2 have going...you both contribute...almost evenly yes?...Alotta families would like to be able to do that...I know I would.

We have about the same arrangement and it works well for us, i think you have to feel for yourself, if u feel it´s unfair then it is, and if not then it is ok =)

hey hi .. you dont look your age.. i gues this is the best compliment given to your discussion ...... he he he .. sorry if this comment was abusive

Have you estimated how much you actually spend on the items you have listed? If they come to more than double what your husband pays to you, then I would discuss the matter of a raise with him. If your bills etc come to less than double the amount, then keep quiet about it. I am lucky that I never had this problem. When I was working, both our salaries were paid into a joint account and everything was provided for from the account regardless of who owed the money. Now that I no longer work outside the home, he earns the money and I help myself to whatever I want - and he never questions it.

I think what's fair is what works well for you. I'm a stay at home mom now, but even when I was working my husband and I have always put our money into a joint account. What's mine is his and vice versa.
