It's only complicated if you let it be complicated.

I've been married for over 5 years, I handle all finances (bills), we have one joint account and it's perfect. I say, "Hey, I'd like to buy this Civilization 4 expansion" She says "Cool" She says "There's a craft fair I'm going to on Saturday, I'm going to take $100" I say "Awesome"

I don't know why I like to pop in to these threads to defend marriage, but it can be pretty damn awesome...

I agree with this and my wife and I are exactly the same way, but some people are so damn weird about money.

For ex. my sister-in-law and her husband each have annual "budgets" for things like clothes, haircuts, sporting goods, etc. It's freaking insane for a grown, gainfully employed man to have to check his "haircut budget" balance before he can go get a haircut.
