Default Re: Who controls the money in your house?

I take care of checking account and make sure the bills get paid on time. I pay most of my bills online, others are taken from account automatically. And there is one that I have to send in the mail, but I usually prepay for 2-3 months ahead (to save an extra stamp).
My husband is responcible for cash and savings. Whenever I have more than enough money in checking acct. for the bills, I take cash home or transfer it to savings acct.
We both use credit cards that give us money back, so I rather put all the grosseries on my credit card, so I get some money back, but my husband prefferes to use cash, he says it makes him spend less, or sometimes not buy something he wants because he doesn't have enough cash on him, and the next day he doesn't want that thing any more and he is happy he didn't spend money on it. But to me, it doesn't matter what I pay with, I don't buy anything that we can live without or still survive untill it goes on sale and/or I have coupon for it.
