[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We may be oddities here but we don't really have major discussions about finances. We have 100% separate finances - banking, credit cards, savings, etc. and never thought to merge. It's just easier this way. I have my privacy in spending and DH has his. I (wife) pay nanny/childcare costs, sports fees, music, academics, and most kids activities. I save for the kids 529s and pay vacations. We never discussed why but it naturally evolved because I do the scheduling. DH pays for mortgage (though house is in both names), auto insurance, and cable/internet. Family insurance taken from DH's pay check. We'll pay for groceries as each one goes. Our expenses ended up being relatively equal as far as monthly is concerned, though because I'm the greater earner I put more into savings accounts. Neither one of us is a huge spender. This has never been an issue and we've never fought about money. [/quote] +1 I literally could have written this[/quote]
