Who handles the family finances?

by

Family finances are no joke.  But, if you were to take one look at the finances in my family, you’d think someone was joking.  It really is that ugly.  It definitely isn’t funny in a haha kind of way and really it isn’t funny in an odd kind of way, mostly it’s funny in a “oh my gosh, no she didn’t” kind of way.

Yea, I know, that was a bunch of gibberish uh?  But, really, if you are looking for some help with your family finances, I am not your man (or woman as I am).  I am so horrible with money that I keep us in a financial bind all the time. 

It’s odd that I am like this but my husband is as well, he can’t handle things any better than I can.  And, so, we go the way of the “paycheck to paycheck”.  Knowing that my mother could pinch the head of Abe Lincoln, it’s kind of odd that we are so irresponsible.

Either way, if you are the person in charge of finances, that would make you the CFO, of your house, then most definitely, you don’t want to miss this.

It’s so important to teach our children about money and not necessarily how to spend it.  I mean, somewhere, I missed that course at home and abroad.
