24. "$$$ is a killer. Iron out what is "Yours", "Mines" and "Ours" EARLY." In response to In response to 11
"Ours" is for your bills & financial goals that BOTH of you have, and it's not to be dipped into for anything else. You can each commit X amount of dollars towards that per month. But, I wouldn't rashly commit every dollar that you earn to "Ours", and neither should she. I think it makes sense to have separate bank accounts, plus joint accounts.
