All this talk of financial contribution

has me wondering. Personally we don't look at money as mine and his. We have all joint accounts. Neither of us has to check with the other on purchases. We buy what we need, when we want to. I don't get razzed for buying clothes, nor does he.
I've made a 6 figure income for the past 10+ years. My husband has in the past, but, he is now taking time off to stay home with our twins while I work flat out for the next 2 years. I won't make him beholdant to me because I'm earning more than he, anymore than he would, or did with me. In fact the only people in our home who have their own accounts are our twins (college fund and savings/trust fund).
I just don't get the "my money/your money" mentality. I don't get using "my" money for a vacation, or "his" money for a car. Its all our money in our house...
Just wondering how it works in your house:-)

I'm no Betty Crocker/Martha Stewart type of gal. I couldn't make a pie crust if I tried or dry flowers for a wreath (unless you count the ones in what was once my flower garden).
Your post was a hoot!

We've both got brown hair but I'm nowhere near her size (and I'm nowhere near as intimidating!) :)
