[quote=Anonymous]We never got a joint checking account--and we divide our expenses a lot like you do. There's really no reason, just kinda works for us. I like feeling like I have "my" money that I can spend how I wish, and vice versa (though I'd never make a huge purchase without running it by him). I also like that when I buy DH a gift, I'm not pulling from his account. But it's all semantics: I consider both accounts to be ours, and if my acct was low, he'd just write me a check. We also have a joint savings acct that we dump money into whenever. I think if you do things this way, your budget should give you both the same amount of spending money, and savings at the end of the month, if that makes sense. So sounds like DH should be willing to pay more of the bills now that your salary is lower.[/quote]
