Ask HN: How do you and your spouse handle big income differences?
I am currently the main provider and my wife works part time while in school. All money is our money no matter who earned it. It’s never been a point of debate or emotions other than “oh we got more money this month, cool!” in the event of a bonus or extra income. We have a budget and try to stick to it and have occasional vacations or upgrade something in the house. When it comes to finances we are a single unit and we will remain that once she earns a full time salary as well.<p>If I get a big raise or promotion my wife is excited not jealous and I have never felt like she was using “my” money.
