[quote=Anonymous]Separate accounts. We had joint at first, then changed it. We each pay for different things, like different utilities, roughly split equally based on our incomes. We did not get along when we had a joint account. DH is the type who watches every penny and questioned all my purchases. I am frugal but like to spend a bit more. We have been doing this for 20 years out of 32. It works for us. We discuss investments but also do most of this on our own too. The problem is that if it's a joint account he sees it his responsibility, to control and worrying it. I think separate accounts alleviated his anxiety. That's just the way he is with money. In my case, I don't have to worry that he's a spendthrift because he isn't. I like the freedom I have to not have him looking at my account. I manage it and we trust each other. Do what works for you. There is not a one-size-fits-all.[/quote]
