[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the troubles with this sort of divided accounting occur when parents don't make equal amounts and/or when one parent spends a lot more than the other. [b]Once you have kids and all the expenses that come with it, having divided accounts becomes complicated. What if you buy diapers along with some make up for on amazon? Do you have to divide the bill? [/b] Personally, I would make sure that each parent has maxed out retirement contributions, but then put the rest in joint accounts.[/quote] No. That comes from the joint accounts. Did you actually read the thread? [/quote] Did you read the post? Why would make up come out of the joint account? BTW, I agree with the PP that the parent who quits work, reduces to part time, or doesn't actively seek promotions because of childcare--and this is usually the mother--often is the one who is hurt by the divided bills.[/quote]
