I struggled with this at first but since I was a SAHM when we moved in together it wasn't so much of an issue as it might have been if we'd been together and I'd been working beforehand.

Gosh I have never struggled with this! I have been a SAHM for 4yrs now and have no problems with DH earning all the money. IMO I work just as hard as he does, just unfortunately no one sees fit to pay me for the work . I have always gone out and bought the things I need as well although I very rarely need anything, and limit the paid activities (and lunches out ) I do with the kids. I suppose DH and I have never been ones to go out and spend lots of money on clothes, night out etc, all our money seems to go on the house so maybe that is why we have never had any problems

Pretty much what we have 3 chequing accounts - 1 where all the money goes, 1 for each of our allowances
1 savings account
1 credit card we keep in a draw for online shopping and to get points.

We save so much more money then when we were both trotting around with our gold credit card in our wallets!

We technically have our own accounts, but free access to either one. We use the money in mine to pay the bills, and use his to pay for food shopping, petrol, whatever we want to buy etc
