re: Married couples and joint/separate bank accounts

quote:

---

Have a single "house account" where both the husband and wife's paychecks go into. Each have their own personal allowance account. Every month, both the husband and wife get a spend allowance automatically transferred out of the house account into their spend account. This allowance account is for when I want to buy guns/fishing stuff and she wants to buy purses/clothes. Everything else gets paid out of the house account (bills, gas, groceries, entertainment that includes the both of us, vacations, dinners, etc).

I worked at a bank and this seemed to be the best way to go. All the couples did this seemed much happier.
