My wife doesn't work and I earn all of our money. It's always our money. We each get a small column in our budget that we can do what ever we want with but apart from that all our money is just one big pool. I don't know how you can raise a family without treating your money that way. When you have kids you're all working together to raise them. If your input is money or time it's all input that you're giving of yourself to provide for your children.

People have different ways of doing things but I like the simple way. We all work towards the goal of raising our family. All resources are shared and lots of communication is required to keep us on the same page. I couldn't do this without my wife and she couldn't do it without me. I'm grateful for all of her hard work and she is for mine.
