Letting Go of Financial Worry

By The Fascinating Woman.

"Enter the "letting go completely" philosophy. The responsibily of handling the finances you hand over to your husband, completely. That means that you don't worry about it. You don't open the bills. You don't pay them. You don't make the phone calls for them. He has to handle it. As he succeeds apply the principle of admiration (as it relates to the the masculine roles look at the this post & this one for more information). If he fails say nothing. He's "a big boy" he can take care of it.

The man I married was comfortable with finances. After we were married not so much. I had been my Father's book-keeper for years (he's self-employed). I knew that I knew how to handle things so when things were tight I would sail in to "save" us. We had meeting after meeting and discussion after discussion. I put together numerous budgets. Nothing worked. Checks bounced. Budgets weren't kept too. Money came in and seemed to slip through our fingers."

"The way you and your hubby manage finances will, I'm very sure, work for many others as well. I just wanted to put in my two cents that in some cases, like mine, this is not a catch-all philosophy."
