Step-Money: Pots of Money

April 15, 2019

How many pots of money do you have?

 

I know you don’t have pots of money but you do have a bank account and a budget. Couples in first marriages generally have one pot of money. But couples in stepfamilies have a variety of money systems. They might have one joint account. Or they might have two that represents the assets and obligations of each partner. Other couples have three pots: a his, hers, and ours. What matters is you agree to the system and you base it on God’s values about spending, saving, and providing for your kids.
