I think you are the same as me. We have a joint account that is really mine from which the bills come out. Mrs Eek's account is subsidized by me and used for food and her pocket money.Originally posted by FiveTimes View PostJoint account pays for all the bills, petrol and cash.

I pay for everything apart from day to day children's expenses and things Mrs MUN likes the look of and buys. Although I top her account up whenever she needs it so I kind of pay for those too.Comment

Similar to EEK it all comes out of my account but her indoors gets an allowance for fripperies (should send MP & MS ballsitic).
She gets to keep any pin money she earns (seriously she pays for food,holidays & things for the kids).Comment
