[quote=Anonymous]We have separate checking and savings, and joint checking and savings. All family expenses throughout the month (groceries, diapers, target runs, dining out) go on the joint credit card. At the end of the month we look at the credit card bill, car payments, day care tuition, utilities, and divide that number 60/40. Money gets moved into the joint checking and bills are paid from there. Anything that is just for us (my gym membership, his fantasy football league, my new work clothes) come out of our personal accounts. We are very transparent about how much is in each of our personal accounts and a few times a year we take a look at all of the accounts and review where we stand financially. DH is a bigger spender than I am, we usually run big personal purchases by each other even though we’re spending “our own” money for those. [/quote]
