[quote=Anonymous]First of all OP, variety is the spice of life. What works for you may not work for others, it doesn't mean either of you is missing anything.

DH and I have a joint account where money for bills and household maintenance is contributed. Anything we jointly do together, be it caring for DC, furniture purchase, travel, dining out, joint gifts for friends etc. goes in that account. We also have separate accounts where we put personal discretionary funds. That is YOUR money and can be used to purchase whatever your little heart desires. I have a shoe fetish, I can dip into my account and buy as many shoes as I want and DH can't say peep, it is MY money. Same with him, if he wants to dip in his account to purchase a new car, I don't blink because it is HIS money to do as he wishes.

Being married doesn't mean you lose your individuality. And Lord knows I have lived on this earth for 32 years not to have ANYBODY tell me how to spend my money.

Neither one of us saves for a rainy day in case of divorce because neither one of us is going anywhere, that much I know. [/quote]
