[quote=Anonymous]You and your spouse have really similar salaries, surprised by so much separation. For some reason when I see scenarios like this I automatically think of the Joy Luck Club where the husband and wife split everything down the middle to the cent, dinners, groceries, etc. Sounds exhausting to keep track of it all! DH makes significantly more than I do, no children. We have a few CCs, checking, savings, and investment accounts together. All bills, vacations, and large purchases are joint expenses. We each receive an "allowance" of about $500 per month to spend on whatever we want. For him that's beer, baseball games, and gifts for me for me that's shoes, brunch with friends, and gifts for him. Since all of our accounts are together, we just avoid looking at the account around birthdays and holidays when we might giveaway what we've bought the other person. Works for us but I agree with other PPs, find out what works for you. [/quote]
