My husband takes care of the heavy-duty financial stuff (IRAs, stocks, retirement funds), he does talk to me about it. I take care of the everyday stuff, checkbook, purchases, etc. It seems to have worked okay for us as we just celebrated our 32nd anniversary last week. It really fed into each of our strengths as hubby is a computer/math person and he thinks about things in complicated ways. He once decided to balance the checkbook for the month and it took him hours. I’ve been doing it every since; but, he will do a comprehensive balancing about once a year and I am always pleased when he tells me that I was just a couple of bucks off.

I've been married for 12 years and have the same game plan with my wife as you do, Liz. She is so sharp with details and deadlines but my business background is helpful when it comes to large decisions that we talk about over the spreadsheets I create and options I've explored.

I think strategically and she thinks tactically. Glad to see someone else that works this way.
