You are getting downvoted but I agree here.
Most want to separate due to watching their parents fight about money or wanting to keep track.
If you are wanting to "keep track" you married the wrong woman. Your relationship is not based on love.
Just a heads up guys.

Just combine it all and talk to one another about what you’re spending. I’ve never once had something where I really wanted something that would make me happy that my wife has been against it and vice versa.
You need the other person to tell you it’s okay to spend on things you love as well as hold you accountable. If I spend on something I don’t actually want, I know that sets us back. Not very nice when it isnt just me in the relationship.
The issue is most people do it backwards. They feel like they are stopped from spending what they want because it’s not just their money and the other person is a foil in that regard.
It’s backwards. If you want solo money, be a solo person.
Both parties have to trust and respect one another.
I doubt this is the case with most relationships given the current divorce rate.

Why?
My wife and I split the bills 50/50. We decided together how much we'd contribute to a joint savings account (used for house renovations, new appliances, emergencies, kids, etc) and what % of our income we'd contribute to our retirement. After that we don't worry about what the other is spending. We are both pretty good with money so it's never an issue.
