Household funds are part of the shared fixed costs. Shopping is done together because we value good food.

What is so hard to understand that there are reasonable compromises between "not discussing anything" and "discussing everything"?

I want to stand up for My/Your/Our account: as a child of divorce, I experienced how my mother was denied access to the joint account or the account was emptied, and she had little knowledge of financial matters during the divorce.

Therefore, my wife should definitely keep her own account; I see this as a contribution to freedom and individuality in the relationship. Also, I don't see every Esprit/Amazon/whatever charge, that would drive me crazy.

To the OP: as long as the current living situation with your grandma doesn't bother you, why change anything. You don't really have any hardship, but all the time in the world. And please don't give me any doomsday talk now. If it comes to the point where our money is worth nothing anymore, we might also have conditions that make the property owner jealous of the one who can still flee to another continent with his devalued few bucks.

to help Help: He is not even 30 yet and in the hotel Grandma....smile. So chand, it’s different elsewhere and I see your 3 accounts as a justified emergency model. We don’t just think like that here but also have similar buying behavior. Discuss, what do we want? What can everyone tolerate? Nothing cheap, who buys cheap buys twice, but nothing over the top. Etc. This works great with 1 account.

I am already glad to be able to buy gifts without it being noticeable on the withdrawals.

Do people have secret accounts for Christmas in the age of mail order?

No, you just go into town to a specialty store and withdraw the money in cash beforehand.

This secrecy and mine yours. Be curious when the child is there, part-time work, etc.

I’m curious how you’ll solve that.
