A lot of women do not really know on how much is being spent on the household and how much money goes out to pay the bills and fund the children’s education. Instead of letting your husband take care of everything and adding to this workload and pressure, you should find out about it. You can ask him about the expenses and savings even when he chooses to maintain the finances himself. Knowing never hurts.
2. Ask
Do not shy away from asking your husband for money. Also do not cultivate the habit of giving money to your kids behind your husband’s back. Don’t borrow from others if you are not comfortable asking your husband for money. It will give you a lot of grief later on and you will never have a goof financial relationship with him.
3. Contribute
Try to contribute as much as you can towards the household expenses and do not put the burden on him because he is expected to run the house. You will not only lessen his burden, but also feel like his equal when you contribute towards the expenses.
