Is it to be understood between both partners that an equal share is to be injected towards the family’s expenditure? After all, isn’t ‘equality’ what women all around the world have been fighting for?When a husband and wife both take on the role of breadwinners in a family, the question of how much each should contribute financially lingers. I have come across a variety of financial sharing models in families.
Each one of them have their pros and cons and, perhaps, there is no correct answer.Here I am sharing a few stories that I have heard from couples in which only one spouse earns money,
to situations where responsibilities are shared. Rehana* pays for entire household expenses because her husband believes that she earns a lot more than him.
Thus, she is obligated to spend all of her earnings on household expenditures. She’s quite frustrated, and wants her husband to take some responsibility,,,,
