[quote=Anonymous]We have most accounts in our own names and one joint account we put money in to pay bills and soon (if all continues to go well) childcare costs. I was mid-30s when we got married so maybe that's part of it but I also came in with a lot more invested in stocks etc. than he did. I couldn't imagine co-mingling everything. To be honest, once in awhile we have a spending spat (I'm more of a saver and less of a shopper) and the idea of what's mine is yours doesn't come easily to me. Still, things seem to be working well and we both came from families where each of our parents had their own financial independence. Mine used a joint account much more than his did but in general we are doing what we saw growing up. I don't think there is a right way. But I like being in control of my assets and still feel I can contribute to a healthy "real" family while having somethings for myself.[/quote]
