looking for a few answers on this mostly from ppl that are married, long term relationships etc.

wondering if this is a good idea or not i like to buy lots of random parts etc for my cars and i know that gonna be a problem later in life for my future wife. Is it a good idea to always have seperate bank accounts for this reason. If your doing the whole same bank account both paychecks go in and we just let each other know when we take money out deal post up and explain how you make that work.

What do you do if one party in the relationship makes say 350 a week and the other makes 500 a week should both parties be allowed to spend on items for pleasure such as clothes, shoes, etc as they see fit even though they dont make as much as the other party. This comes after all the bills have been paid for that month.

One thing has been brought up to me which is allowance lol yeah back to grade school on your arse. The same problem comes up for me on this too if we are saying ok we have 400 left over after all the bills are paid for that month and we have this left should we really be splitting this down the middle giving both of us 200 to spend if you KNOW most of that allowance is my damn paycheck??

anyhow post up i know there are married guys on here that can help me out so i sound like the mature guy when that time come for me to have this talk with the wifey
