Funny, I’ve experienced just the opposite. Most everyone I know have separate accounts, and express surprise that we have everything in joint accounts. This becomes a problem because we have different spending habits; I tend to want to save and think of the future, and she tends to live for today and isn’t as concerned about saving for a rainy day. This causes a bit of conflict because I’m always asking how much this costs or that costs and she gets a little testy. It’s not like I’m trying to track her spending, but I have no choice as long as everything’s coming out of the same pot. I suggested separate accounts at one time, but she got so upset over it that I ended up dropping it. She’s a creature of habit; her attitude was that we’ve been doing it this way for years, so why change now? She even thought I may have had something to hide. Oh, well, sooner or later when she gets tired of me asking what she spent every day, maybe she’ll come around.
