Is Money Your Responsibility or Your Partner’s?
It would appear that for many couples, money should be handled by the most competent half of the relationship. In many cases, the biggest earner would also be the deciding component in the family/relationship.
However, many individual cases point to a singular truth: that without cooperation between two individuals in a relationship, finances would go awry. You cannot prosper if only one person is constantly reviewing and budgeting limited finances.
So before you make another solo move regarding your finances, ask yourself this: what could my partner add to my decision to do this? Remember, two clear heads are always better than one. If you’re the deciding power in a relationship, maybe it’s time to relinquish control for a happier relationship and a more stable financial life.
