Tx Chef.... well since dh can't control himself.... you can ...take full control of the money and give him an allowance.....and not give him access........ or.... you can get joint account that requires 2 signatures........with the understanding that all bills are paid FIRST before any personal luxury......or... y'all can seek counseling if you plan on staying together. Money can become a real bone of contention when there is one that wants to spend it faster than it's earned.
By the way, are y'all a two paycheck family?
If so, put your money in a savings account in your name only.. and live off of his paycheck. In reality, that is how it should be.
Couples with 2 paychecks should learn to live on one check and save the other..
The main reason for divorce is that there is NO communication....
so start communicating....
We have 2 checking accounts.. and we are both on all accounts as well as savings accounts... I pay groceries, gas, electric, telephones, water, sanitation, and cable. DH pays mortgage, credit cards, insurance and car payment....and anything major that comes up.
Since we can bank online, we can transfer funds between accounts at will.. There is total cooperation here on everything.
