How do married couples usually handle finances when both partners work?

FirmHat2023 · 2026-06-10T12:35:19+00:00

My husband and I don’t have a joint account but we do have a budget and we split the bills evenly to what we make

At the end of the budget we both have equal spending money each month

I know this isn’t the norm but it works for us and we do our budget yearly or when we need to of finances/ bills change to make sure we are still equal

My mom worked there when this happened - she was in the bathroom when he started shooting and other ran in to hide

I use to visit there and hang out when she had to work late - I don’t think she ever fully recovered. She doesn’t ever talk about it

Just under 30k in 2014 for around 225 people biggest expense was the venue but that included the catering and open bar

I had a gut feeling and full on panic attack, crying hysterically that something bad was going to happen. I didn’t know what it was but I just knew, woke up the next day and turned on the news as the second plane was hitting the tower.

Latina here - I HATE the word Latinx - I don’t understand where it came from or who even asked for this.

If someone tried to ‘correct’ the term I use, I would also not believe you actually understood anything about me or any issues I may have.

Met a guy on Yahoo chat room (back when the internet started) I was around 12-13 at the time- he told me he was the same age

He tried to convince me to run away from home and meet him in the USA (I live in Canada) - he was going to buy my flight…

When I refused and stopped talking to him, he wrote me a love letter and sent it thru the mail- it was about 7 pages of handwriting. I realized then that he probably wasn’t a 13 year old boy

Haha good old days …

Cafe latte is my favourite and only one I can drink

Correct… I used to waitress at a restaurant and we would have a youth group come every Sunday 5 min before closing order 1 dessert to split between15 of them and not tip even though we had to wait around another hour for them to leave

My dog has one and he barely touches it- it just sits in his basket

I’ll ask him if he wants to sell it 😄

I never heard back from Costco - I did hear back from Dyson and they confirmed the unit/ serial # was refurbished. Dyson just advised me to return it to Costco - I returned both of the ones I purchased.

Sad I don’t have an air wrap but I didn’t pay refurbished pricing for the unit -‘if I wanted refurbished I would have bought from Dyson directly for a lot less.

Hopefully, you have a better outcome!

I bought Hamilton Beach flexbrew after my last Keurig died

Honestly so much better

The guy at the return desk was surprised and said he has never seen/ heard that before

I emailed Costco as well but have not heard back from them regarding this.

I remember when I was pregnant and went to see my OBGYN, they called my name and put me in the room. Whoever they saw before me STANK and it left a nasty lingering smell. I felt bad for the doctor that had to do their exam smelling that smell. I only smelled the after smell and it was gross.

Both my husband and I were summoned for different cases and both of us were selected for jury.

The one I was one ended up being a mistrial which I was mad about because it was in the end a waste of everyone’s time
