[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bothered work full time. We have separate accounts and each manage our own money. We split the bills. Eg. He pays the mortgage, I pay property taxes. He pays utilities, I buy all the groceries. We might "share" on a big purchase,but in general one of us picks up the " tab" and it washes out with other purchases because the other person balances it out.

It works for us. I know a lot of couples would be mortified, but really, we don't argue about finances and everything clicks. Neither of us is accountable to the other one if we want to make a personal purchase, either. [/quote]

So you plan separately for retirement, and don't consider asset allocation over both of your holdings?[/quote]

Because our money is separate does not mean we don't address it as a collective unit long term. I know some people like to see a savings going into "their" pool. We just don't need or do that. We discuss, plan, and see a financial advisor together. We just don't commingle money like other people do. We still refer to it all as our money.

I know it wouldn't work for most couples. It works for us. [/quote]
