My husband and I lived on our own for a while and developed elaborate methods for keeping track of our expenses, budgets, bank accounts, etc. How do you combine these together once you're married?
We've tried setting up one joint account for bills like rent, utilities, etc. and keeping individual accounts for expenses like clothes, haircuts, entertainment. But then when we go out to a restaurant together, one of us pays and the other owes money, and it stops being romantic.
I'd prefer not to have individual accounts since I like the idea of being married and doing this together as a couple. How do you do it if it's one joint account? We don't want one person "overspending" and making the other person feel resentful.
