[quote=Anonymous]Assuming… each of you have a fully funded retirement account, your family has a joint emergency fund that could pay 6 months of bills.

The best thing for us was 1 account that has “all the salaries” auto go there.

We each get $1000/paycheck to our own accounts.

We use our own accounts for non family stuff… vacations without family, my H likes to buy tools and such, my hair and gym
Memberships and cars. Cars may seem to be “family” but my H likes sports cars so no they are not family. I pay for the Van which seems family but if it were a family decision it would be a maxi SUV and since it’s “my money” it’s my choice and I hate those huge cars.

It’s nice to buy gifts from our own accounts so we don’t feel we’re buying ourselves a gift.

This model limits discussions like can we really afford that car or do you really need a $1000 table saw.

I visit my brother every year and that costs about $2000 after all is said and done and that’s how I like to spend my money. No discussion on cost.[/quote]
