I guarantee you my wife could not tell you how much I earn. It is simply a non-issue, something she sees no reason to know or remember.

Same here. There just is no such thing as "her" money or "my" money. Anything either one of us spends affects the ultimate bottom line, no matter what account that money gets pulled from. That's why we see no reason to separate it. Just keep it all together and keep things simple.
