FI and I keep a joint account for bill paying, the mortgage, and our rainy-day fund. Neither of us makes large purchases without talking it over. We consider the money we have (even in our separate accounts) as "our" money.
I find having separate checking accounts to be nice for buying gifts and such. We''re really set on saving up a good rainy-day fund, so we don''t have that much in our separate accounts.
FI does have a separate savings account. That''s our "buy-a-scooter" fund. We''re excited about that.
Overall, FI and I make a similar amount of $, and we have the same spending habits, so it works out well.
