[quote=Anonymous]Whatever you both agree on, ignore the others. You stay married because you have a partnership that works and however it keeps working is fine and no one else's business. I put spouse through law school w/o loans and we've never kept our money separate. I earned more through spouse's school, clerkship, and public service. It wasn't until after kids and our 15th anniversary that spouse started to earn more and now earns many times my income. In the beginning, we were on a super tight budget and we got in the habit of talking about any expenditure beyond the basics. When we made more, we tracked all our investment decisions together. While we probably don't need to talk about anything smaller than a car, it's just a habit like checking with each other first about the grocery list before we go to Whole Foods. [/quote]
