Financial Management
My wife and I both have stable jobs, do I still need to spare family expenses with her?
For any financial decision involving a married couple, we recommend trying to coordinate to reach a general consensus. Whether it is to be handled by one person only, or by two persons after discussion; you may first decide on the way of communication for handling financial matters, adjust the pace with each other, so that you could walk together harmoniously with your partner in your marriage.
As for whether or not to spare family expenses with your wife, this decision involves both individual's expectations on both his/her family and partner, which may be rooted in your family culture or past experiences. After all, the spending between married couple shall not exceed their affordable budget as a bottom line.
