[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We gladly and willingly keep our finances separate. DH makes much, much more than I do.  I pay for our child's school tuition and after school activities plus any credit card bills.  DH helps me pay for summer camps and some of our child's clothes.  The mortgage, taxes and utilities are all paid by DH.  We share food costs, he pays for Costco trips and I pay for local grocery store runs.  We have never fought over money.  [b]We don't hide purchases of 'things and stuff' from each other[/b] out of courtesy and respect.  This works for us, it may not work for others. [/quote]

If you have separate accounts, do you have access to each other's accounts? How would you know? Curious. [/quote]

We do not have access to each other’s account. When you buy stuff online it shows up at your doorstep. Example, he bought a $4k custom laptop for work, he told me he had been looking for one for a while and made the purchase. I was happy he found it and glad he bought it. I buy clothes and beauty products, I tell him in casual conversation if I am expecting packages. We work hard and are good with money, I am fine if he buys gadgets and he knows the stuff I like to buy. In our house and circumstance this works for us.[/quote]
