Wives are famous or rather infamous for over-spending...
Should Husbands hand their Wives 100% of their salary? or 50% or just 10% ??? What do you say ?

I dont recall reading where wives were infamous for over spending. Im a wife, mother, grandmother and business woman. My husband has always contributed to the house hold fund and trust me I know he has She Money. Money She Dont Know About!
I have paid the bills because either he didnt want the responsibility or because the headache that goes with it is can be very stressfull. I think out of all the years weve been married hes ask me only a few times, "What did you do with all that money!" I made myself a system years over 20 years ago so that every dime that passes through this house can be examined.
For the question that was ask if you couldnt trust your wife with all the money then you dont need that wife. Same goes with a husband if I couldnt trust my husband to pick up where I left off and pay the bills then I dont need him either.
To me not just money is an issue but my well being is. If something happen to me to where I was hospitalized or couldnt make my wishes known would my husband look after my best intrest. If you cant trust them with all your money then they cant be trusted at all.

It all depends on the nature of you and your wife on this issue. How ever I would suggest follow:
1. In case yourself have the habbit of over spending and your wife too has the same habbit you can keep the money in bank and draw only req amount for meeting your weekly/fortnightly expenditure.
2. You have no escape route or option how much to trust/not trust, reason trust is the basic foundation of married life.
You have to convince her and make her understand that you need to save money for rainy days and future progress in life.
2. In case you want to hand over the money sincearly to your wife open her bank account and transfer 80% of the money and keep rest for meeting any untowards expenditure(tell her that the total pay) Also never forget to hand over a chit of expected expenditure likely for the month.
Develop the above said habbits with love and discussion with your wife rather than holding her guilty.

Not all women are like that so I think she should have 100%.
BUT,
If the wife does have a habit of "over spending" then you take over and give her what she won't spend. Money is the number one thing that couples fight about. Which personally I think is awful. I know I tend to over spend so I happily give my money to my husband and when I want something I just ask for it. We Never have once fought about money. Plus I have everything I want and less of the little stupid stuff women tend to buy.

I think a wife can be trusted with the money. It is not my money it should be our money. she does not state it is my baby, she says our baby . so a responsible wife will see how to live within the income as well as save for a rainy day. in case she is a spendthrift you must be careful . Both of you should sit together and plan your budget monthly. in this way you know how much to spend. Also if you trust your wife then she will trust you.

A successful husband is that husband who can earn more than his wife can spend.
Start up your own Free Enterprise project, you shall earn more than what your wife can spend, since it gives you a permanent ongoing residual income which is exponential in nature. And more over you can leave this income as a legacy to your next generation as well.
This is 3 to 5 year project for yourself.
Revert back for more details.

You have to trust your wife. She can spend earning of 30 days in 30 hours. They want more. They should spend reasonably. They want latest, fancy, new etc.
They can spend 100% but they should give food of personal choice to husband, kohlu ka bail. Husband can earn more lf he get food of personal need, taste etc. Bad food is balatkar and hindrance in earning. Giving tasty, seasonal, desired food is Addar satkar and eater can enjoy and do / earn more. Some ladies are fool.

If you will not trust your wife your life may be disturbed. Yes you can make plans and spend money with mutual consent to keep your family respectable in the society.

really?? i didn't know wives were like that.. women in my family take over pretty much all of the money, but they are smart when it comes to spending money.
if it's for those overspending wives then i would say... 25%... you need something to get them off your back x.x
