at least 3 accounts, one for all the money to go into and pay bills out of, and then we each have a separate checking account where we effectively get an allowance to spend on whatever we want. T



This is how we will be doing it.

What's the percentage breakdown? For example, each puts 75% of check into the combined account and 25% into the personal account. I.e. 25-(75/75)-25

My wife hasn't started working yet, but when she does we'll basically have both of our checks deposited into the joint account. Then from there we'll put an equal amount into each "allowance" account, and then another portion into our joint savings.
