Soldato
I earn £70k, wife earns nowt, lol. We have a single joint current account that all my wages go into and all of our spending comes out of. The way I see it, my wife earns my wages just as much as I do.
We both have separate bank accounts that our salaries go into and a joint account for bills.
We pay different amounts into the joint account that are calculated so that we each have roughly the same left after paying bills. That way if one wants to spend their money they can while the other can save if they want without feeling the other is spending their savings.
It works out that I pay just over double what my wife does but I feel that's fair as she has to put up with me
You see, that just the kind of wrong attitude to have in a marriage.My misses used to use the joint account as her spending account, in her mind she got everything half price until I caught her.

We were both sticking in £1000 into the joint account, but the account was always empty and I wondered why. She also got the bank to stop sending statements by post, trying to cover her tracks.
Why would we put everything into one account? I spend my money on what I want and she does the same with her's, the result is zero problems.
