Reading another thread, I just wondered how common/uncommon it is for couples to have separate bank accounts. DH and I have one joint account, but only for when we get cheques in joint names. We keep our money separate; until recently DH paid the mortgage and I paid everything else, and that worked out roughly equal (I'm now on maternity leave so DH pays everything except grocery shopping). We'd take turns to pay for meals out/treats etc. Is this weird? It's just the way we've always done it, and it seems to work for us. Only thing is he earns more so has more "spare" money, but I think that's fair enough as he's earned it.
