The husband is the breadwinner, the wife is the keeper of the family hearth. The classic scheme of everyday relations between spouses. In practice, everything often turns out to be far from the classics.
There are many families where the wife gets the food, she also keeps the fire going, and the husband just holds the sofa with his back and that's it.
And here the question naturally arises: who in the family should be trusted to manage the family money and who is the keeper of the family wallet?
For each family - differently. The statement "so many families, so many options" will be absolutely incorrect in this case, since there can be two options.
The husband manages the money
It is he who earns his living, is able to make serious decisions concerning the purchase of real estate, large and small household appliances, and wisely allocate money for food, paying bills, and gifts for his wife.
Such a man is an ideal, and not fictional and not taken from the pages of an English novel or a modern women's magazine. Such spouses really do exist. Why shouldn't such worthy family men manage the family purse?
The wife keeps the money
She buys groceries for daily dinner and lunch, organizes holiday feasts, pays off loans, etc., and she can do this using her own salary, her husband’s salary, or both salaries at the same time.
Having taken on the financial issue in addition to maintaining the house and raising children, she simply does the work of her husband, who does not know how to do it or does it poorly.
How can a particular family decide in whose hands the family wallet should be?
All people in the world fall into two categories: the follower and the leader. The leader is the unconditional leader always and in everything, the initiator and inspirer.
A follower is a person who wants to be led, to be directed in the right direction, because he himself is not able to solve the simplest problem.
Therefore, the spouse who is the leader should manage the family's financial resources. He will be able to take care of himself, the follower, and the joint money.
