Who does...

K8-B · June 2009

the finances in your house? I tried to make a clicky poll, but to no avail.

Just curious, really.

We used to do them together and I would pay them online, but I paid a few late, DH got mad, and I handed over the reigns. I like it this way.

Mrs_Carroll · June 2009

I pay the bills but we do the actual finances together.

LOVEDBYD · June 2009

We split 50/50. We have separate accts.

Mrs.ABC · June 2009

He does everything involving finances.

Mrs.Foreste · June 2009

DH does.

4realyo · June 2009

i have always handled everything. dh has no clue how much money we have or how much bills are or anything really. i make all final purchasing decisions as well. if i were him it would drive me nuts, but he likes it this way. sometimes i get stressed since im the only one it feels is worrying about money, but i would worry either way.

RedRobin81 · June 2009

I do, but every now and then I need DH's help planning the bills for the month. For example, this month is his gold trip, so I asked him to help me plan around what he would need and when.

Lucky you, though!

*edit - GOLF trip, not gold. lol*

Kie310 · June 2009

I take care of all the money for the house. I'm a little OCD about it, and I worry WAY too much about things being paid & paid on time, etc.

So I do everything!!

Katiedid81 · June 2009

Yeah, it's all DH in my house...I am completely useless when it comes to bills.

MrsDonk · June 2009

I handle all of our finances.

MrsBro6116 · June 2009

We do 50/50. We are looking into getting it much more organized though because we are just not saving as much as we could.

mindlek8 · June 2009

I do it all in my house. We have a separate account for our mortgage, food, utilities, etc. And then we each have our personal accounts for personal expenses like my student loans, gas, entertainment, etc.

sare_bear · June 2009

DH does, but we always discuss things first, and I keep an eye on the account to see where it's going. He is WAY better at investments and bill paying than I am.

juietbride · June 2009

We do it together, there was a time I did it all, and a time when DH did it all, but now we seem to do best when we both do it together.

sstar1308 · June 2009

DH does the finances but i remind him when the bills are due.

mrs.cam · June 2009

Dh does the finances in our house! I send him a perentage of my paycheck and keep the rest for me!

This, exactly. I'm pretty sure at any point in time my husband has no idea how much we have in our accounts. He seems to prefer it this way though. Any big purchase he wants to make he runs by me, not to ask my "permission" but to see if we can afford it

mooeta · June 2009

ALL me

I like to say that DH makes the money and I count it.

beffysky · June 2009

DH pretty much handles everything--he's an accountant so it makes sense

Any big purchases we review together to make sure we have enough, and I give him a heads up if I'm planning on shopping so he's not confused by the credit card charges.

JenniferMae · June 2009

DH does everything...I actually have no idea when I even get paid (which is really sad actually). I just give DH my receipts and he does the rest.

K8-B · June 2009

Interesting repsonses so far. We all do what works for our family, some trial and error, too.

ShandaB · June 2009

DH does it and I prefer it that way. When DH and moved in together he wanted to do them and since I hated doing my finances I gave it over to him willingly and with much excitement.

staycee · June 2009

DH takes care of all that.

I only pay the one CC that I use for daily purchases (lunch, groceries, dr. copays, etc...). I do that online.

Goober2000 · June 2009

DH handles the finances but I have access to the accounts online so I can keep myself up to date. He is really good at managing everything but I do have to give him a nudge every so often to sit down and pay the bills so we are not late on our payments.

This is us exactly too. I'm a control freak.

clooney81 · June 2009

I pay all the bills. He doesn't ever have a clue how much money we have or where it goes and he doesn't care.

ams8099 · June 2009

DH pretty much takes care of it all.

a.graves · June 2009

H does.

Smile777 · June 2009

We both do, which gets a little confusing sometimes when we both think that the other took care of paying a bill.

ALL me

I like to say DH makes more money and I spend it!

katyanne · June 2009

Good morning! DH handles it ALL. Caused me to much stress.

*~ Mrs. Fontes ~* · June 2009

I will not lie, I am horrible with finances.

DH does pretty much everything. I will go and pay something if he tells me to, though! Angel

Exactly.

lumbride · June 2009

We sort of split it. DH is very disorganized, so I pay the monthly bills and mortgage out of our joint account (we both transfer money into the joint acct every month). But for big stuff like re-financing, investing, etc. - that is WAY over my head and dh takes care of that. Works for us!

this exactly.

Nova726 · June 2009

DH refuses to touch the checkbook, so I pay the bills. He stays on top of me though with his "this is due next week, better get it paid".

buckeyeki · June 2009

DH does, but once we move (in August) I'm going to take over most of it. At least that's the plan.

Mrs.M317 · June 2009

me.

my DH doesn't believe in savings as much as I do, and if he were in charge we wouldn't have any! Also, I can always say "we can't afford it" if it is a large purchase and something frivolous. LOL, j/k although I pay the bills we both make decisions about purchases

snowbear1 · June 2009

DH is a CPA so he does all of the major finances. Sunday night he goes over everything and balances his check book, I think he really enjoys it. I have never balanced my checkbook ever.

But, I pay my personal stuff online (student loan, CC, car, etc.) myself.

jshay778 · June 2009

I do all the bills except insurance. He always paid for his own so I let him continue to pay that.
