Finances

So I’m a Nigerian and my husband is British Pakistani, we don’t share finances because I stay at home while he works full time. He pays all the bills , everything that has to do with money while I take care of the baby and the house . I believe Nigerian culture is the man taking care of finances while the woman takes care of the house and kids but it’s not really like that here in the uk because of how hard it might be on some men. I have access to his money but I don’t take it, I let him give me because he will. Times have changed and people do what works for them i believe.

I think just focus on your and your husband's cultures and figure out (ideally before you marry) what works best for both of you, as things differ from household to household.

I would say even if your husband is the breadwinner, the wife should endeavour to have her own stream of income, no matter how small it is. If your husband gives you a regular allowance, avoid spending everything at once, save some for a rainy day, because sometimes it doesn't rain, it pours.

In all, wisdom is profitable to direct.
