Hey all,
I figure when Josh and I get married, both of our incomes will be put into the same bank account..minus some "allowance" money for us both..and then if either of us are wanting to buy something over ..say..$50, we will discuss the purchase.
I know one of my friends uses this method in her house, and it works well for them.
Josh is nervous about it..he is worried that he won't be able to buy things that he wants. I understand how he would be concerned...but I am not going to be in charge of the money, and neither is he solely..it will be ours. (Keep in mind, we are both fairly frugal and neither of us go around spending on a whim)
How do you guys handle two incomes?
