Just because you or I obsess about money does not mean our wives must follow suit. It's probably a good thing my wife wants little to do with financial planning- fewer arguments or debates about it.

My wife runs the day to day check book and pays the bills. She is also quite patient. That really helps when you need s 50k medical bill knocked down to $100 or $1000 with the insurance company.

I handle the mid term and long term plan, and the budget. No guarantee my wife follows the budget month to month, but I know we come close.

The budget is the only thing the two of us discuss together. I do the retirement planning and mid term planning part, she does the checkbook.
