I can imagine though when you start out having your own money how it would be an adjustment to get used to. I think it's great that you have come to a place where you have peace about it.jpandtheboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841960564589742769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128356272633778761.post-84806582639037763172008-09-30T12:35:00.000-05:002008-09-30T12:35:00.000-05:00My husband and I have always done the joint house ...My husband and I have always done the joint house account with separate allowance accounts thing. It has worked really well for us, a lot of my friends keep their money totally separate in the their marriages and I just can't wrap my head around how that can be done.
