[quote=Anonymous]We have joint accounts and just paid off the last $50k of my husband's student loans with the sale of our home. We've gone through periods where either of us were making a lot more $ than the other but we agreed 12 years ago to "for richer or for poorer" so we've always split what we have left over pretty evenly. I can't say it's all rosy though, I'm more likely to spend a few extra dollars regularly on something frivolous and he's more likely to splurge on something large and wasteful a couple times a year (unused treadmill desk, hiking equipment, etc.) so we each annoy each other with our spending habits in different ways. I think one point to push is that doing all the financial management shouldn't be yours alone. I used to do it all myself and when we've been in rough spots with unexpected expenses I've taken on all of the stress of figuring it out while he seems blissfully unaware. That should be more of a partnership.[/quote]
