[quote=Anonymous]Our finances are separate; my pay from work goes into my spending account. My savings and investments are in various accounts. He handles his income and investments. He makes a lot more money than I do so he pays our bills and pays a credit card I can charge anything I want to on (although I'm pretty frugal, fwiw). I pay for groceries. Despite our separate accounts, he always says our money is "the same," which, given that he has more, basically means I can spend what I want and he'll pay for it and not consider it his business. We are both on the deed to the house, and we are both on the mortgage, but he makes the payments. We married later in life, are financially comfortable but not rich (both of us are professionals and inherited $), and we don't have kids, so it never made sense to open joint accounts or whatever. It works for us. [/quote]
