Both your aunt and uncle set good example for married couple to manage money matters on different portfolios with separate accounts. It is wiser this way to forestall hindsight overdraft due to over spending from a single account. As a single account is monitored by both;hence there is a controversy of different opinion in spending. Separate account means easy management as the key matter. It is rather common.

We are both retired and developing second careers. Many couples have a separate account for mortgage/utilities/household expenses because they own things jointly, I am on her deed as beneficiary only, so she pays the mortgage and I pay for improvements and utilities. Our arrangement is quite informal.

I don't understand it either. I feel it isn't right and i wished couples understand they become one when they get married, that includes the finances.

(its very normal... ) it also allows individuals to buy their own things with their own "saved" money without creating fights. (this is how i do it) Also have a joint savings in which some money every month/pay goes in toward joint savings.

My husband and I both have separate accounts. As far as checking accounts go, it is much easier. Neither has to worry if the other wrote a check or bought something that will make us over draw on our account. We each pay certain bills so they come out being close to even. It works well for us. My parents had separate accounts as well and then one where they would each put some money into to save for vacations or major expenses. I think it is fairly common.
