[quote=Anonymous]Two answers - My husband and I make roughly the same amount of money, so paying equally into the joint account has never been an issue. We contribute more to the joint account each month than we know we'll spend. It just makes us more comfortable to have a cushion. If there are big additional expenses (adding in daycare, buying a new house with a bigger mortgage, etc.), we increase our contribution to cover that. If there are really big, one-time joint expenses (travel, Christmas gifts, etc.) then one of us pays with a credit card and we reimburse each other. Like PPs have said, we always thought we would combine once we had a kid, but we just... didn't. It works for us, so no issue.[/quote]
