[quote=Anonymous]12:25 here.  We figured out how much we needed in the household account to cover everything plus some extra.  I make more money than he does so I put in approximately 600 more per month than he does.  I don't remember how we came up with the original figure.  We just divided it up.  We up the contributions periodcially.  For example, we decided to buy a new car a few years back so we upped the amount we put in monthly to cover the payments.  As our (his lately, I'm a fed so my salary is frozen) income has increased, we just put more money into savings.

Honestly, at this point we probably could just have one account for everything but inertia has kept it this way. The accounts are all linked and when you log in you see all of them.   My account has been the one that my paycheck has been going into for years.  I don't really want to deal with HR at my agency if I don't have to.  I just transfer funds every two weeks into our house account.  I transfer funds for my husband's paycheck too.  He usually just asks me if he has the cash to cover whatever he is thinking about buying.  In fact he asks my opinion on buying this or that for his hobbies.  I don't consult him if I buy clothes or makeup or get my hair done.
