Do you and FH put your money together or keep it separate? Do you split the bills and spending money? Or do you pay certain things and FH pays others? How do you save together?
FH and I put our money together. I'm a budgeting freak and I think it's easier to just pay our bills from one fund, save for a long term goal (currently the wedding, after a house) and then split the spending for each other to use however we feel fit. FH and I also make about the same amount. For me, I feel like it's the sensible solution. FH is fine with it but he just made a statement that, 'We are the only ones who do it that way' and I'm wondering if that's true or not.
So how do you and FH do it now? How will you do it when your married? and in your opinion, what is the traditional way to do it?

We each have a checking and savings which we pay our own bills like car payment, phone etc. Then we have a joint checking and savings and we put in a set amount each paycheck to cover all our household bills and shopping, insurance, etc. Our own accounts are really just for our own spending money. I don't need him asking why I need two pedicures in one week!! LoL
