[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We co-own our house but otherwise everything is separate. If we are out together as a couple or a family DH always pays for everything. Maybe patriarchy in action. He pays the mortgage and childcare but I pay all the bills, property tax, auto insurance etc. I guess our finances are separate in name only, we are totally commingled and not really counting beans. [b]We could get a new account and both contribute to it every month etc but what would that really get us?[/b][/quote] Gee, I don't know. Maybe total transparency for one thing?[/quote] Seriously. My wife and I not only have commingled everything but we use a budgeting app where we enter in all our expenses. So each of us can pull out our phone and see every penny we've spent over the past four years. I think we're so far in one extreme it's hard to understand the other extreme of separate finances.[/quote]
