re: Married baws - how do y'all handle finances

Wife's income (after savings) goes to a separate account to cover all home expenses. Mortgage, taxes, insurance. In Houston, that pretty much eats up everything she makes.

My income goes to a joint account to pay for everything else, which is basically living expenses since we don't have any other debt.

We fund separate checking accounts for each of us with a budgeted amount. That's the spend on whatever you want no questions asked budget.

Has worked well.
