Yes, it’s much more easier to get spouse to watch over our financial, so we can focus on the business or other things. It’s not about how much money we have, but how we manage it well.

My wife is a great shopper. She’s not into $300 coach purses, or designer clothes. She finds great deals at stores like Ross & Marshall’s when possible. A $200 dress for a Christmas work party ends up being $20.

Like Mrs. PT, my wife also takes good care of her stuff, to make sure it lasts a long time.

Also, we’ve recently got into the Grocery Game. It gave us a challenge to save money grocery shopping, while giving us a reason to cook at home more often. With our work schedules and commutes, it’s a struggle to always eat at home, but we’re working hard at winning the battle.

Finally, she helps our family finances by making money ;o) In a down economy, her employment stability has really carried our household. While personal finance typically talks about defense (paying off debt, frugality, etc.), it’s good to have a bit of offense too!

Interesting topic. It’s amazing the difference in a marriage when both are involved in the finances.

As for us – the Mrs. is the one that really manages the finances. Really, I do my best to compliment her.
1> I handle the investments. This is something that she recently handed off to me.
2> I try to make sure that we have a life. One of us has to recommend spending money!
3> I tackle a lot of the DIY projects that would otherwise cost us thousands.
4> We’re on one income as well – mine. I also am always on the look out for other income sources.

great question!
