Budgeting has to take into consideration that one of those parties may well be making far less or far greater an income that the other party and so the budget will have to be planned accordingly so one is not losing all their income to bills.

As I mentioned earlier "When it comes to the subject of marriage and money, it always comes down to communication." When a couple is struggling with financial issues, it bottles down to more understanding, communication and sacrifice. Thanks for your comment I am sure some others will benefit from the situation you went through. Take care and Cheers. Hey Zakman,

Way back like I was just about two years in my first job, and had a wish-list that ran half-way up the Empire State Building. I'd go on to say to say the items on my wish-list were more down-to-earth, like meeting the immediate needs to live comfortbaly, but my wife (ex now) wanted some exotic furniture. Well I had some issues of my own (which would be off-topic here) and I took a loan and bought the expensive furniture. Things were never the same since then. I'd have liked to write about how I handled the situation--but I just didn't. Absolutely no idea how to work with a partner. Sorry! I can share some hands-on experience on this post.

I am not saying this system will never work. However invariably if one party is handling the money there are bound to be conflicts. Take care and cheers. Hi Shane,

They each have separate investments and they both contribute to a common fund to pay the household expenses, etc. It seems to have worked pretty well for them.
