Not this time though, I guess.<br /><br />Someone once told me that it was "old fashioned" that hubs controls the finances and that I'm very hands off. It's not old fashioned at all...it just so happens that money and organization are two of his biggest strengths.

Like you (and the others), I draw the line at sharing toothbrushes. I make my husband buy his, and I buy another brand that is slightly different but he doesn't like, so we always know who owns which toothbrush. The way he squeezed the toothpaste used to drive me nuts, till we started buying separate toothpastes as well!<br /><br />Yeah, my husband is more OCD about finances than I am. I usually just glance over the credit card bill (which has almost all our bills), and ensure I can recognise every item. My husband goes through them line by line, matching receipts to the bank record. He keeps spreadsheets recording major bills (power/gas/insurance etc) over years and years. It's quite handy when it comes to doing my taxes and expenses, I must admit. I wouldn't be quite so organised!<br /><br /><br /><br />Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-29067583435729554092016-01-11T22:00:26.341-05:002016-01-11T22:00:26.341-05:00Hahaha!!

Besides the colour coding, my toothbrush is always in a holder slot on the left and his is on the right. <br /><br />I look after the chequebook & bill payments, while dh looks after the investments. And yes, I keep a chequebook register, and I do balance it every month or so. :) A dime's difference wouldn't really bother me, but it DOES bug me on a certain level. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-69280621656171273762016-01-11T10:17:33.093-05:002016-01-11T10:17:33.093-05:00I agree on the toothbrush thing.

That's why mine is always pink and his is green or blue. <br /><br />And just last week I spent an hour searching for that missing dime, except mine was $20. But I would've looked for a penny even. Its part of my OCD.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584445611402346917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-76046104051578707872016-01-10T22:19:57.153-05:002016-01-10T22:19:57.153-05:00Lucky – you’ve almost doubled the wardrobe without...Lucky – you’ve almost doubled the wardrobe without spending the extra money.<br />I couldn’t even manage that with 2 sisters.....

We both know what’s going out and coming in but it’s his task to pay the bills. <br />The hubby is treasurer for an organisation he belongs to and we’ve had a few occasions where we’ve been chasing dollars across the pages to get the books balance. I would’ve run for the shopping too – it was no fun at all.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102758362320348657.post-26849956587689371452016-01-10T13:40:19.717-05:002016-01-10T13:40:19.717-05:00I liked The Five People You Meet in Heaven too!
