We keep each other in the loop by using Google Docs when making adjustments to the budget. I'd say we agree most of the time, but if we can't agree on something, we go ahead and have a family meeting and present both sides. Most of our finances is automated right now (i.e. attacking student loan, building house fund) so that's also helped as well.

So far, no answer. From a logical standpoint, it might work but in reality, my sense is that the money maker is often the decision maker too. I ask my wife the same question. So far, no answer.

I think the person who DOESN'T create income would be the best in charge. Why? b/c the person who doesn't create income feels more guilty spending money, and will be probably a much disciplined saver. .-= Financial Samurai´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.financialsamurai.com/2009/12/18/how-would-you-spend-500-on-children-this-holiday/" rel="nofollow">How Would You Spend $500 On Kids This Holiday Season?</a> =-.

We discuss the upcoming month when I'm setting the budget. We discuss what we are saving for and what big purchases can be done now vs. waiting. I'm more detail oriented so I enter the info into the software each month. .-= Ken´s last blog ..Newlyweds and Money: It’s About Teamwork =-.
