My ex brother in law goes out to work and brings the paycheck home.
His wife does all of the budgeting and he gets a small allowance so he has some "scratch" in his wallet.
He rarely mowed the law and his home improvement skills were something to behold.
As an example... The toilet in their house was unfinished for almost 20 years. Just wood framing with card board and tape to provide some privacy.
I could go on and on but he was that sort of guy. He used to annoy me but I felt I had to make an effort because he was "family".
He always had a bomb for a car but somehow it was always my responsibility to help him when it broke down. Servicing and minor repairs. All for free.
I lost count of how many times he called the house asking for help because he was stranded somewhere.
I even had to use my own tools because he didn't have the money to buy his own but he did have money for beer and cigarettes.
Actually looking back I was the idiot for doing it!
