I am very skeptical. I am working now and I make about 3-4x less than my husbands. He also makes bonuses. He says that he wants more control and will pay everything except for the dogs, and my debt. I dont' know if this is a blessing or if I should be worried... I am not sure.. my husband wants separate accounts because we have had bounced checks… impromptu expenses not well managed.

First a joint one for all bills, vacations etc, then a joint savings account then a certain amount (the same, to be fair) of savings into separate spending & savings accounts. Great topic!

All of my husband's paycheck (I'm a SAHM), except an agreed on amount for his eat out lunches and whatever else he needs cash for during the month, goes into my checking account to manage (pay bills, organize savings, etc). I manage all the finances so this works best for us. If my husband wants to save for a big ticket item that I don't care anything about (like a bigger TV), he saves for that in his checking account. As for savings accounts we have an emergency fund, a travel fund (for our yearly trips to Australia) and another savings account that is currently nicknamed "renovations", but it changes depending on what we are saving for. We also have 401k and Roth IRAs for retirement. When we were both working, we had a similar arrangement set up, just more of it went to savings. We have joint savings and separate checking.

I commend you for staying sane (I can barely do that with my 2 kids - lol - did you check out the Mom Salary Wizard?). Oh, I like your set up. Well, I think my husband really enjoys that portion - not needing to consult each other with every expenditure. Now its I am responsible for mine as he is with his. And I enjoyed the other night, when he <i>took</i> me out to dinner. Felt like a real date. ;) Thank you for stopping by!
