Default Who does the finances in your family?

Just curious as to what the ratio is male-to-female.

Oh it's definitely me, the wife and personal finance blogger! My husband steps in to give input from time to time, but I set up all the processes like direct deposit, how much we have to spend etc. Although I have to say that he's been much better then me recently about checking the accounts.

Maybe I don't count, because I'm not married but live with my sister with whom I own a house, but I do all the finances and bill paying, including going to the bank.

We share the general stuff, but I do the actual bill paying and moving of money usually for the most part. Although he's responsible for the car payment and cable bill. Everything else is me.

I do all the planning. I set the budget and goals. DH does all the actual execution like setting up the automatic bill pay, going to the bank, and sending in the payments.

I also handle most of the investments. DH has no interest at all when it comes to reading the financial blogs and WSJ. I love this stuff!

I do it for the most part. Hubby works on making more of it and I work on how to save and spend it.

I handle most of it though my wife plays a role, we're still getting used to the idea of being married and managing things together.
