Who is academically more qualified in Finance – you or your husband?

Who is more financially frugal in your family?

Who thinks of expenses 3 months hence, 3 years hence and 30 years hence?

When you tell your husband you need to plan for expenses does he say ‘Of course’ but does nothing about it?

When you tell him in April that PPF, ELSS, etc. should be paid now does he say ‘Yes I know’ but continues to watch IPL?

Who thinks of how to plan a trip, a vacation, a visit to the bazaar you or your husband?

If you ask him to read this will he just say …’Subra Sir bahut daratein hain’ , but still read it and still do nothing?

If you told him it is going to cost Rs. 40 lakhs to look after his parents, Rs. 4 crores for your darling daughter’s education, and Rs. 10 crores for your retirement – will he throw a tantrum, remain cool and say ‘yup I know’ and continue to do nothing?

How many of his friends, siblings, cousins, colleagues take ‘loans’ from him a.k.a gifts?

Well you know where the answers are leading to, right?

Hey smart woman, wear the pants and take charge of the family finances.

I have seen you in pants, you look awesome. Now wear the financial pants too.

  1. Hi Subra,

    I have been doing it for my family for last 8 years, and best part is there is 100% support from my Husband. We both have our different competencies and make sure we discuss but do not interfere.

    I think its not about gender but interest of a person.
    Regards
    Shobha
