I'm curious how you budget as a couple or budget with family. Does one person take the lead and it's their duty? Are you equal participants? Does each person leverage their strengths?

What works for you?

This is basically what we do. I take a small "cut" for my hobbies or whatever. She takes the same or likely a little more. What's leftover is family budget.
