Default Re: sharing funds

Mostly it depends on the couple. My wife and I have been happily maried for 10 years and we have never shared an account (well once for a really short time until things bounced once then that was it.) The point is with us we simply divide the bills. Depending on who makes what percentage of the money is who pays what percentage of the bills. We adjust from time to time depending on the amounts we make and what bills we have. But since I have bills a,b,c, and the wife has d,e,f,g,h we know who needs to do what and we each have our own spending money too. I would not say that it would work for everyone but we each tend to have 25% of our own money after our set of bills are paid.
