My Moment of Feminism...just one!
by Juliana

I’ve never really been a feminist at all, but I do have one little complaint to make about modern culture. Why is it that people always assume my husband takes care of all the finances? In reality, I write the bills, balance the checkbook, etc. Yet when the tenants of our apartment write out the monthly rent check, they always write it out to my husband!
Another example of this is with our construction loan. I spent hours and hours calling lenders and finding the best rates, closing costs, etc. I slaved over finding a program that would work for us, getting the down payment together, putting together the documents, etc. But every time they send us a check for reimbursement, who is the check written out to? My husband!!
Just a little heads-up to those in the world of finance: if the men are out there working nine to five every day, who do you think is going to be spending time with the budget and bills? Who’s going to be getting checks in the mail and wanting to deposit them? Probably the one who stays at home, the wife!
