I’m curious how you budget as a couple or budget with family. Does one person take the lead and it’s their duty? Are you equal participants? Does each person leverage their strengths?
What works for you?

Were y’all pretty transparent? This seems difficult to pull off without transparency, at least for shared expenses.
I have a friend who handles finances like this with her husband and they are NOT transparent which is both surprised to me because they somehow make it work and because it seems to put it on hard mode.
Yes, we were transparent and honest with each other. We didn’t have any reason not to be.
I suppose I should also mention that she made more than I did at some point, and didn’t mind paying a little more because of this. So, even though things may not have always been split 50/50 we still tried to balance things in a way that we both felt was even. We each paid our fair share and treated each other equally.
