Mommyusmaximus, and I have a system that works for us... We have 2 accounts. First off, they're both joint accounts, so we can transfer funds back, and forth if need be. She uses one, I the other. Also, someone needs to be in charge overall. Used to be me, but I'd get deployed, she'd take over. I'd come home, I'd resume. Well, that got old after the 3rd time, plus I came home all banged up with a TBI and bad memory problems, so she just stays in charge of household bills now. She does bills, and her hobbies, or whatever with one account, and I buy my Jeep parts, and "gun stuff" with my account.
