[quote=Anonymous]Caveat that we both make over $300k although my husband outearns me significantly in cash comp, I pay for medical insurance premiums. I mention this because we each make enough to not feel the need to score keep. We each have own accounts and a joint checking plus credit card - automatic deposits by each of us for an equal amount we budgeted a long time ago.. Household expenses run mostly through credit card but I’ll pick up groceries/housekeeping on my personal account because that’s how I set it up and am too lazy to switch. I buy most of the kids clothes on my account because I like buying cute stuff. When we get bonuses, we each put in what we feel comfortable with / what meets our savings goals into the joint account (funding 529, paying for new car etc, taxes). Don’t keep track at this point of who has contributed more.

We each like the freedom of having our own money but if joint expenses arise each is willing to put in more money without creating a spreadsheet [/quote]
