caribari, thanks for sharing. I''m just nosey sometimesIf you are comfortable with the way you guys are handling your finances, there may not be a need to change after you get married. I know it''s extremely common for married couples to have seperate finances. To each his own!

Your fiance is lucky! (If he likes being a stay at home dad, that is). I hope this isn''t too personal of a question, but was this planned (stay at home dad), or did it just come about with life''s circumstances? What was his work before?Date: 11/19/2009 10:48:56 AM

I''m a lawyer. My fiance is currently a stay at home dad for my son. We have a joint account and discuss all expenses. It works great and there is no tension. Leaves him completely available for me for any other things I need
Sorry, I''m just nosey

We are both IT professionals - Networking and IT Project Management. I make a good living, but BF is a consultant, so he makes between 2 - 4 times as much as I do, depending on the gig...... but I''m the one with tbe benefits. I also am very stable and have been working for the same company forever, while BF has been negatively impacted by the economy.
Money has never been an issue between us. The only issue is when there is not enough of it! HA!
We have seperate accounts and just pay the bills however it works....it just works. Most of the time he just gives me money to supplement and I actually write out the checks each month (he HATES doing that but I like it).

Well, ummmmmm, how do I explain???? My FI has a long job history. He has a computer science degree, but hated the work. So he did a lot of jobs until he became a "male entertainer". He did that for 5 years, and quit about 2 years ago. Since that time, more random jobs, and was selling cars at a dealership when I met him. He hated that, and quit. I kept my nanny until September, and then he took over. It made sense to save the money on the nanny expense while he figured out things. We love it - he loves my son (and Miller loves him) and it really gives us a lot of flexibility!!!Date: 11/19/2009 11:44:14 AM

Thanks for explaining! I think it's awesome when a spouse is able to stay home with the kid(s).
