Different strokes for sure but I'll never understand how married couples don't have a joint. I guess if both like doing the bills it could be a struggle. My wife wants to be as far away as possible from our accounts.

We combined finances when we got engaged. It sucked when were were dating, lived together, and had to figure out which each owed one another.

I manage all the money and pay all the bills. I have separate accounts for rental property.

Everything goes into and out of the same account. We have a single budget and part of the out is a transfer to our separate "personal" accounts. This is for anything from dining out, clothes, fun. Anything family/us/kids related all flow through the joint checking and cc accts.

Neither of us have access to each other's accounts and can spend on whatever we want. If she wants to go in a shopping spree, she should bc she can make her own choices. If I want to spend too much on a good club that I'm just going to shank anyway, all good.
