[quote=Anonymous]Direct from both paychecks to retirement (when kids were in daycare, just enough to get the company match - before and after, maximum allowed) Balance to a joint checking account - all bills paid from there Bonus money, 10% to fun and frivolous, the rest to brokerage account (everything in both of our names) 9-12 months emergency fund in a Cap One money market account (also used to buy new cars, replace HVAC, etc) FWIW, spouse has always made around 6 times what I make (sometimes more, sometimes less). All but one 2-year stretch I had the more flexible job and took care of all the kid stuff. During those 2 years, we literally split it, sometimes splitting the day at work (I'd work half a day and he'd work half a day, depending on who had what meetings going on)[/quote]
