[quote=Anonymous]Our setup is like this: Savings: enough to get the full employer match. This means more for him, but I get a better deal on my pension because I've been a Fed for longer, so this evens it up. DH currently makes more than I do, but he also has bigger student loans, and spent an extra year in grad school while I was working. I did most of the down payment on our house, because of that. So I think we're pretty even, in the big picture. Personal accounts: Fixed dollar amounts for student loans, clothes, fun, etc. NOT done by percent. Shared account: Full paycheck, after savings and personal accounts. This is like 90% of our discretionary income. Bonuses: Splurge on something for yourself, or put it towards a family luxury such as a vacation. Bonuses often go towards something one of us wants more than the other, e.g. my DH likes fancy vacations and I wouldn't want to make it a priority but if it's bonus money I'm fine with it.[/quote]
