Mom had her "mad money" (which she almost never spent, meaning that she was always incredibly rich in our eyes!), but Dad paid the bills (except for groceries). Now, Mom pays all the bills and I don't know that Dad ever looks at the finances except to do taxes or because Mom wants him to cut down on buying new computers! :-) <br /><br />My mom's still the rich one, though. She's been depositing her mad money in a personal savings account all along. Dad, however, has to share everything he makes with Mom :-)bekahcubedhttp://bekahcubed.menterz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348659783396465896.post-53498884654515377062010-10-15T12:51:48.844-05:002010-10-15T12:51:48.844-05:00Nel, You write in a very smooth and interesting wa...Nel, You write in a very smooth and interesting way. It's a pleasure to read your posts.<br /><br />Money is an important issue . With my parents it was the other way round; my father used to hand in the check to my mother and she was the finance minister at our home.<br /><br />I totally agree with you that in a marriage it should be "a joint effort".DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1348659783396465896.post-62966638612350013252010-10-15T08:26:04.821-05:002010-10-15T08:26:04.821-05:00I enjoyed reading this post. :)

My dad died when I was really young and money was always an issue in our household. God provided for our needs but my mom always had a hard time with making ends meet and worrying about it that she passed perhaps unwittingly to me. Although God has blessed us so abundantly, I constantly worry about the money in our bank account. I also have found myself being more laxed about money in the past because we had an abundance of it and it was not that abundant growing up. Very good thoughts to think about<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
