She'll cross that bridge when she comes to it and she'll
manage quite nicely. I let my husband pay the bills. I
don't like doing it and am very happy that he took on the
responsibility.

I'm an estimator who doesn't bother to record checks - which
drove him up the wall for years. If I stayed in the black,
I was happy. He wants to know to the penny what's in the
checking acccount, how much we owe & where, so we called a
truce over the concept of how to handle money long ago. We
now have a "working" arrangement that suits both of us. He
can watch the bottom line and I don't have to bother with
it.
