If the way you both handle finances makes the two of you happy, that is the most important thing, you shouldn't worry about it. Every family handles their lives and finances their own ways.

I know exactly how much he makes. Don't be so clueless. We both trust each other but we still keep up on what is going on. We have had too many friends and family that did not know how dire their financial situation was until their marriages split up. Some had spouses that were spending and not paying all of the bills and some were hoarding it so they had it to leave with. I will never be clueless again from just watching them struggle to fix what their trusted spouse ruined. We discuss and agree on all financial decisions.

I know exactly how much my hubby makes....we sit down once a week to discuss what bills are due, what is needed, etc.....we keep tight checks on our accounts so there are no suprises and we know what we have to 'play' with.....it takes the pressure off him because I don't talk about extra's we'd/he'd/I'd like if money is a little tight some months...unless he wants to then it's 'when we can' sorta thing......as something we both are looking forward to doing one day ( like a first class cross country AmTrac trip from Pacific to Atlantic coast, and a two week summer time cruise to Alaska and back....etc)

You'd better educate yourself hon. Just in case. I've been with my husband for 20 years, we have a joint account and I don't see him going anywhere any time soon. But I also have my own account and whenever I have a little extra money I put it in the bank. He knows this, he makes more than I do we have three children but it's nice to have that on the side just in case I want to do something for myself. He has the same. It's not an issue. I think you'd better educate yourself on what's going on with the funds in your family.

Yes, I know how much he makes, I am the one who pays the bills and worries about the bills, and I am in control of our financial situation! When I feel like I am going to burst from the stress, I just go to our local pool, which is wonderful by the way, and swim off my stress!!!
Like I am going to do tomorrow!!!!!!
It has been a long Thanksgiving break!!!!!

Of course I know how much he makes....it has nothing to do with trust....you sound like you have been drinking too much...or are you naturally just a floozy?
I find it strange that a woman who is having her husband's second child has no clue what he makes for a living....If it works for you...great! You admitted yourself that you were clueless.....But I truly believe that MOST couples know exactly what one another makes.....Does he not trust you with money? Evidently not if he never talked with you about his earning, and he pays all the bills.....financial matters in my opinion should be discussed by both partners....

Maybe it's time you get involved in the finances. Suppose something were to happen to him (God Forbid!). You would need to know that sort of stuff. Didn't you have to ever sign tax papers, etc? Seems odd to me for a spouse not to know what the income amount is.

It's fine if he handles it, but you should be informed. People do die unexpectedly, and the last thing you would need would be to have to learn the finances whilst raising two children and grieving as well.
