Everything goes into 1 account and then stuff is pulled away into savings accounts for stuff like property taxes, vacations, etc. She used to have a separate savings account but now sees there's no point to it - we just spend out of our checking account.
I'm always puzzled by couples who don't merge their finances especially if one makes more than the other. Didn't you marry everything about that person? Does one stay in a nicer hotel room on vacations and fly in business class while the other slums it in economy?
