[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm judgy about married couples that maintain separate finances. [/quote]

Why?  My DH and I have been happily married for 20 years.  When we met I had been working for a few years and had my own money.  It felt like compromising my independence to share everything.  I certainly didn’t want him going over my credit card bills.  Perhaps o was jaded given the experience some women in my family had with over controlling husbands.  Anyway, years went by, we consider all of our money “ours” and one or the other pays for things as they come up, big expenses we tend to split.  There is no accounting of who paid what.  It works for us.  That being said we make somewhat similar salaries.[/quote]

We're the same as you (13 years married.) It works for us too. My friends and sisters (who are all SAHMs) find it appalling but personally I find it appalling when they have to text their husband to put money in their account when we're out shopping or something.[/quote]
