Been coming across people asking for advice or just venting about their marital finances and I keep getting amazed at married people who talk about "my" money and "their" money and how they divide it and who pays what and with whose money.
...
So, I guess my question is, how do *you*, married folk of AD do it? Or, if you don't want to discuss your finances (or are not married ;-)), how do most married people you know do it?
My wife got a liberal arts degree from an ivy league university, but only worked about a year and a half of her life.
On the other hand, I dropped out of two colleges, got technical training, and lucked into three good jobs during my 39-year career. The money we have from my Social Security, pension, IRA, and other savings is enough for both of us to live comfortably without arguing about money, especially since we had no children and live relatively simply.
So we never discuss whose money it is.
