Who's Money Is Who's?

In your marriage do you each have your own money or do you share your income? If one of you want to buy something do you have to use what money you have made or do you use what you both have made?

      You must have two separate bank accounts.  We use to buy the things together and then he will give half of the money and I will give half.  We even paid half, half for the house in that way there could never be any fights about who paid for what.  Sometimes there would be things that I want and he don't want and then I will go and buy it in any case because I can.

      He didn't know what was going on in my account and I didn't know whats going on in his account.  We just new that we were both responsible people and won't waste money

        When we got married, everything was OURS.  There was no "HIS" and "HERS" No separate anything as far a s finances go....I took on her bills and she took on mine. Everything I make goes into OUR account and everything she makes goes into OUR account.

        I think that the money in a marriage belongs to both equal, in some cases and if only one partner works, that is the partner who needs to handle the finances and only because it works better if only one person keep up with the check book balance, now if both of them work they should decide which one will take care of this, I have seen too very many cases that when both are writing checks there's always checks boucing back, it's hard to keep up with the balancing! However, i also think that whoever is handling the financing part fo a marriage should think on the priorities first, food, mortgage, health, utilities etc etc etc and if there is money left, well, them both cand decide how to use it.
