[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe we're odd, but we got married in our 30's and never thought or talked too much about having joint accounts. We have each always maintained our own accounts. I make more than DH, but we are definitely a team financially and every other way and neither of us has "one eye on the door." Maybe we were just too lazy to change things, but it's never been an issue. I pay the mortgage every month and he pays the other bills. If we're out buying things, we don't think about who pays-- it's just whoever runs the errand or is closer to the register. Honestly, it's not an issue. If he is short in his account, I pay a bill. If I'm short, he pays. We honestly don't care because we feel that all our assets are joint family assets.[b] I find the preoccupation with the type of accounts people have as kind of odd.

In the past there has seemed to be a bit of a conservative/religious tint to a lot of the Anything Other Than Fully Merged Is Evil posts. You know, how can you be one before God if you don't make sure every penny is where the husband can get to it at all times.
