[quote=Anonymous]We have the his/hers/ours system. Each have separate accounts and a joint account as well as separate credit cards and a joint credit card. Most of the expenses are joint (food, mortgage, daycare, etc.) and separate expenses include our own clothes, trips with our friends and other personal items such as electronics. Everything for the kids is joint. We each contribute to the joint account pro rata by income and replenish the joint account as needed. Our separate money is generally ours to spend as we wish although obviously we would discuss if it was something that would impact the household (i.e. neither of us would go out and buy three cars that would take up the whole driveway). I really love this system and it works great for us.[/quote]
