[quote=Anonymous]+I'm a big fan of the "your, mine and ours" All monies go into the "ours" accounts and then we both draw an allowance ($200 or so a month) from the ours account to the Yours and mine accounts. This has served us well for 15 years. At one point he made twice as me, for a few years I made more, he was unemployeed. We are equal partners in our marriage, no reason why we can't have equal "salaries" If you want something that you can't afford from your "walk around" money you have to ask and agree. We haven't ran into any problems yet. Gym classes, new clothes, there really hasn't been a problem. If I want to spend $200 on new boots, if I buy it with my money - he can't say a thing! Household money is needs, yours and mine money is wants. All the kid's expenses come from the household account. [/quote]
