Separate budget is widespread in the western countries, where women try not to depend from men in finances. This type of the family budget is used by the couples who have enough high income.
Of course, quite separate the budget will not be. Nobody will calculate how much in grams husband ate, and how much it costs. Each provides himself with what he needs. Money at the same time, as a rule, is stored separately, in different banks. The family members buy products together and together give the needed sum of money for it. When someone has the money run out, he takes it from his spouse, but the second spouse will have to give this money back.
Pluses of this type of budget are independence in finances of the both members of the family, what can help to solve financial problems of the family and gives everyone the opportunity to plan their purchases, without accounting to anyone. Among the benefits of a separate budget should be noted this important fact, as an aid to the relatives. This question may be very delicate. So, this type of the family budget is very useful in such situations, because the spouses doesn’t have to ask money from each other for relatives and can do it without pangs of conscience.
Separate type of the budget helps when one of the spouses, or both, have some sort of an expensive hobby, in which the second half is not interested.
But there is one more than unpleasant reason for this choice – it is mutual distrust, when the couple suspects each other of hiding the true income.
As for the spendthrifts, their spouses should not be limited to only the best option budget. This problem is much deeper. In fact, the important thing to this person is the attention. If a spouse listens to the second half, sympathizes him, then the next time he might not have to prove his love of loyalty to the empty cash spending. You can often make your spouse happy by making pleasant little surprises. This will bring a positive impact on the climate in the family and reduce the need of spenders to make gifts to himself.
You can also allocate a certain amount of monthly money for spendthrift and announce that this month about such a date, he or she can indulge in such and such a sum. Restrictions and a temporary postponement will give him an opportunity not to succumb to the first pulse, and analyze exactly what he most wants. Thus, you solve two problems: a spendthrift receives desired gift and attention, and the family budget does not suffer from unexpected shocks.
If a married couple would be able to understand the peculiarities of their characters, then they may not need to move to separate the budget. Indeed, in this embodiment, control costs have a significant drawback: the family loses its sense of unity. People like to live together, but each by itself. There is no assurance of help from the second half, and nobody is safe from disease and unemployment. And then what? In this case how should behave the family members – the adherents of a separate budget? What is meant by family, if not to help, trust and confidence in each other?
