Advice from SAHM SAHW about money

So recently we decided that I wouldn’t work any more into my pregnancy, for various reasons that work for us and that we both decided together. And once the baby gets here I am going to be a SAHM. The money I would make wouldn’t be enough to cover childcare expenses and we both prefer knowing I would look after our little one and keep the home.

Since this is ALL new to me, and it will be the first time in my life that I won’t have any money coming into my bank account, I was wondering what works for everyone when requiring spending money from the spouse that provides the income?

I know some couples share one account and just agree on discussing purchases over a certain amount, some don’t have full access to accounts but get “spending money” budgeted for monthly needs outside groceries and gas, etc.

Obviously, my fiancé and I are planning to discuss this further and get what works for us finalized, but I was just wonder what you ladies find works well for you and your family. I’m finding it awkward thinking about the idea of having to ask for money all the time, so if we can have a system organized I know that will work best.

Thanks in advance wifeys and mommies!
