Miss_Ife:

If both of them are employed they shoul share the expenses of the house, save some money for the family and keep the rest (if any) for their personnal expenses. I believe that we marry to join hands, not to put a heavy burden on our partner's shoulders.

However, there are some situations when things are different: for example if the man (or woman) earns much more than the wife (or husband) and has enough to provide for the whole family as well as for his/her personnal expenses, then he/she should do so and let the other spouse keep his/her money.  Things can also be different if the woman stops working to have/raise children etc, But as long as two people work, they should put the money on the table and decide together how to spend it. Women are not kids, if they are working they are supposed to also take responsibility for their families' expenses

djojo:

Why should a man be be responsible for every financial exp. in the house when the wife have her own job.
I don't know why most ladies always want to save their own pocket, is she not meant to help her husband in the financial stuff in the house.

tkb417:

Pretty ironic, when you consider the fact that 70% of the topics you've opened (and the questions you subsequently ask) are rather silly

[b]Most espeically when you marry a PRADA,CHANNEL,GUCCI girl, then you are totally in for it! I am facing danger as well, but thank God she contributes just 30%. My wife is a fashion freak and she can go for a 1500$ handbag, so you should know I am totally in for it!!!! We are married for some years now,except that freaky lust for fashion, she is a totally good girl!


Good question there, but if your wife seems to be too dependent, then don't let open your salary to her, or she will be expectant of 50% every month if not more! All girls do that and if yours doesn't do that now, believe me shes gonna do that later! The best thing for a man is if you get,let's assume, 80 hundred dollars a month, tell her that you make half of it monthly; some women might even go to the extent of setting up  private investigators to know their husband's monthly income! Thats absurd!

Not that you ain't gonna share anything with your wife, but its good to be wise, [b]cuz women are simpletons. They have a very small brain, and you must lie to them to live with them! [/b] [/b]
