The household’s money manager may offer information from time to time—I made so much in this mandate; this is the amount we saved on world trip tickets; this is how much it will cost to renovate, and so on. This sharing may create an illusion of transparency and participation. However, everyone else needs to seek centralised approval for large spending.
