I used to split up our funds like a pp' does. Wich worked fine & then we got married & I still pretty much did the same thing til I became a sahm & I took control of the check book. Til I got my hands on dh's finances (since, I met him because I told him I wouldn't marry someone who had lousy credit) he would put the bills aside til he felt like paying them because something in a store ect caught his eye. So dh gets his set allowance sent to his atm card & the rest to checking so I can pay the bills ect out of it.
In essence if I left it to dh we wouldn't be current on our bills but we'd have lots of cr@p we didn't "need".
