How much money?

[fairyshyone]

I get a certain amount of my husbands paycheck to pay the bills. He gets whatever is leftover. I dont know the total amount he makes but I have a general idea. He knows the general amount I make also. We both have our own checking accounts and then have a joint savings account.

I know how much he makes a year, and I also know how much he brings home in a paycheck since I pay the bills. He also knows how much I make. The bank accounts we have are all joint and we have online banking so we cannot hide anything.

I'm the accountant in the household. My father is the same.

Redguard, your wife is a stay-at-home mom, right? Does she know how much you bring home everyweek?

She used to be a stay-at-home, but she took on a part-time job a few months ago, which just recently turned into a full time job.

But even while she was staying at home, she knew exactly how much came in week after week.

We do our banking online, so we're always logging in to check balances and the amounts of our pay are shown (we have a joint account, and separate savings accounts for b-day surprises).

We also do our banking online, and have a joint account. I have all the passwords and account details, but to be honest I'm not that bothered about checking to see what goes in and out of the account. I trust my husband to make enough money for us and trust that he won't just go and spend it all, or hide any of it from me, so the answer is I don't know what's in the accounts, but I can check at anytime I want to...

Everything is mutual in our marriage including all property and income.
