[CH19161]

That arrangement sounds great, As long as everyone is happy, it probably eliminates a lot of stress over how to spend a shared pot, and it is certainly no one else’s business. The only problem I could see with that approach is if there is a great difference in the amounts the two people earn. The one who has to make do with a hobby like cross-stitch may resent the one who collects antique cars and jets off to take cooking classes in Tuscany. They would be living different lifestyles under the same roof. And what if one stops working because of children or what have you? Wouldn’t there be more of a shock of sudden dependence on the spouse, not to mention resentment, than if things had been shared to begin with? It seems like most marriages will at some point be single-income, or at least dynamics will change (promotions, cut in pay in order to move with spouse, retirement, etc).
