This article is a few months old, but it is interesting: http://www.lawyers.com/pdc/pressroom/article_redbook.asp
Based on a harris Interactive survey of 1796 adults ages 25 to 55 in "commited" relationships:
--1/3 have been dishonest with their partner about spending habits
--41% of women are in charge of the household budget, and only 21% of men
--42% of men are in charge of investment decisions, and only 12% of women
--38% of men are in charge of retirement savings, and only 14% of women
--31% of men are in charge of debt repayment and only 22% of women.
The article doesn't define "in charge" or how many people make joint decisions. But it is interesting how many people do not identify decisions as joint.
FWIW
