we actually already use that system: we both get an allowance and his gets direct deposited into his checking account and i pull my allowance out in cash. household money stays in my checking account, savings goes into the online savings account. so, in our world, he has a debit card for his money, i have cash for my money, and the house has the almighty checkbook for it's money

even with that, he still sees the money in savings as "money just waiting to be spent".
