I do everything in our house financially, we have everything in joint names and a separate bank account each. Every penny we earn goes into joint then I pay into our separate accounts each month, he dosent even know that exists! I deal with everything at home and work (self employed) tax vat etc. hubby gets pocket money each week. We met when we were 17 he moved in with us ( parents) and when he got his first job he just came home and gave me his wage! Has done ever since. He has great survival skills and always provides the goods, but just can't deal with financial stuff. I would hate not doing it. I even used to do financial lists for parents, I now do it for brother, sister, and one daughter, the other is like me and very organised. If anything happens to me he won't have a clue but my daughter will as I have run her through it all.x
