[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is simple. After mortgage, childcare, bills, gas, groceries, cleaner, and savings, you have 1K left. That leaves you each $500/mo fun money. Why wouldn't this be split evenly? Three accounts: Family, his, yours. All bills paid from family account. Cash for misc to each of you from sep accounts and don't track what the other person does with it (it's only $500 anyway). All family bills get paid from family account and that includes *everything* your children need (why are you factoring their clothes and haircuts into your personal budget?). The bigger issue I see here is that there's no wriggle room. Honestly I'd have trouble staying under $500/mo for misc expenses. Your mortgage and bills seem outsized for the amount of misc cash you're leaving yourselves at end of day.[/quote] +1000 I can't see how there's any other way to handle this situation.[/quote]
