What does your banking situation look like with your spouse?

Exactly, whatever works for you is great. Unfortunately, we have a few on AT who will judge those of us with separate accounts. Personally, I don't view my wife's salary as OUR money - she worked for it and earned it, and as long as she pays the agreed upon bills, I really couldn't give a damn what she spends it on.

Same, we split all the bills between us, but his money is his and my money is mine. We see absolutely no benefit of having a joint account for us personally, but I completely understand people who want a joint setup.

I remembered when I was courting her, I told her that I will take care of everything. Anything she ever make, she can keep. Still true to my word.
I didn't get married married till 40 and I saved up quite a bit so understandably, I was hesitant on sharing everything with her. We're getting near 5 years and the fears have just about disappeared and I wouldn't mind having everything together but the family situation is one I'd like to avoid. I'd rather she just have a separate account so I can avoid ever being involve.
I know if we ever get a divorced, I'm screwed anyway if she wants to get as much as she wants. I guess being a good husband will minimize that risk. LOL.
