Sit down and make a budget. Figure out what bills are due at the beginning of the month. Then figure out how much needs to come out of each paycheck to pay them. This way the money for the bills will be there but then you don't have to depend on him for your spending money. Also make sure your part of the bill paying so you know whats going on. When my husband grandfather died his grandmother didn't have a clue what needed to be paid because he did everything. It was really hard on her for awhile so make sure you know where the money is going too.

Is your husband capable of managing the money? If he is, then you have nothing to worry about. if he isn't then you have a problem. I believe that the money handling should be the job of the most capable partner. In my marriage, when it happens, I think that will be me. Whomever is the best at paying the bills and managing the household expenses gets the job.

No,but if it is your idea , if it his then that not good
Girl as someone that have been their you do not hand a man your money to control, learn to take care of your money
you need a bank account byyourself
if your husband is not in the position to pay all the bills
then you need to take 1 or 2 to pay
You are not stupid, your mother, your friend fail to give you that little advise,
ADVISE: have direct deposit on YOUR bank account & pay a few bill
learn to buy what you need but not what you want

I think I understand your question....
You're asking if it's wrong that your husband handles the money because you don't feel that you are capable. Well if that is the case, I don't think you are stupid. I think it's smart to know your weaknesses and limitations and your partners strengths.
When you are married it's no longer my money and your money, it becomes our money. You and your husband should be making financial decisions together, even if he is the one that pays the bills.

Nope. If your husband is trustworthy. My wife handles all the money in my house. I tell het the amount I want for myself with each pay cheque and she handles the rest.
Me and money aren't very good friends I try to get rid of it as soon as I get it.

Absolutly not. Some people are smart enough to know they cant control their budgets and rely heavily on the interest the partner has. There is nothing wrong with that. As long as you are happy and well taken care of its A. O K!

As long as you trust each other, and the bills get paid, there is no problem.

Well if you find that you are not financially responsible, then you're pretty intelligent to let your husband handle that aspect of your marriage....(as long as he can be trusted.)
