we'll probably keep everything the same as now - we have seperate checking account and handle all of our own bills......as far as the shared bills FH pays the big bills like the rent, car, car insurance and I pay the smaller bills like the cable, phone, electric, groceries, etc.

we will do our finances together- I never want one of us to not know what we have in case of one of us falling ill or something.
I am watching my grandmother go through this now- my grandfather has been hospitalized for four months. For the 61 years that they have been married, he paid all the bills and did all the investing- and now with him in the hospital- it has fallen all to her and she had to learn it all- and at 86 believe me- its not been easy for her or us.
just something to think about.
oh i dont plan on one of us not knowing what is going on, ill always keep him updated and let him know our status, not like give me your money and im in charge...what i mean is that ill make sure our bills get paid and making sure we both have enough money in the bank...and i would NEVER invest money without talking to him about it...just bc we say we'll be in charge of the finances doesnt mean we take total control and they're oblivious to what were doing. It'll be more like ok you need to give me $1000 this month towards the bills and making sure he keeps a certain amount in the bank.

thats definately the best way to do it!
I don't think FH knows when a bill is even due! I think it is going to stay that way, I will be doing the finances!
I took over all the banking when FH and I moved in together. We have a joint savings and checking and then we each have our own savings. But, I do all the banking including the deposits to FH's savings account. He glad not to have to do it.

After the wedding, who is going to be in charge of the finances. Will your fh take over everything? Are you the one who knows what they are doing with money? Or are you going to try and both take care of it?
My fh will be taking over and I can't wait. He is sooo good with money and finances and I am so bad. I can't wait till he starts paying my bills and I don't have to.
we haven't really discussed this yet, but I am hoping that FH will want to take over. He's so much more disciplined then I am....he's a little stingy though with money. I don't know....He'll probably take over but I won't be left in the dark :)
FH already takes care of our finances since we live together.
no idea...but probobly both
Definitely me, I'm more organized and on top of bill paying
my fh, he already does now.

it will be me and we both agree...FH would be great at this if he didnt have a spending problem lol
I handle it now and I will continue to, this way I can skim off the top and save up to get a second husband.
