People here hate separate accounts. Go figure. Some deep trust issues in some of these people.
All separate accounts here. No joint accounts. Happily married 24 years.
Nope, 1 joint account and I have been married longer than you. If I had concerns about a potential spouse having money issues or is a spendthrift then I wouldn't marry them. We have a monthly budget that includes all bills and significant latitude for discretionary spending. She had to have her car repaired yesterday ~ $1,100.00, it was already in the annual budget. I'm spending ~ $1800 in the next few weeks to go to out of state K9 trials, already in the budget. I would hate to micro divide shite every month which could lead to a lot of bickering. If one spouse becomes incompetent or disabled what happens to their individual accounts, etc?

I think the way you’ve set this up works well for you.
And we don’t have a budget.
