We both make about the same amount, so there is really no question of it being 65% mine and 35% hers. We got married in college, and at that time there was no question about where the little money we made was going. Since graduation, we just kept pooling the money, even when one made more than the other. The only problem is who carries the checkbook, and since the advent of plastic, this is not a major concern. Sure, we still have "discussions" about what luxury items to buy, but neither of us has ever tried to pull the "I make more so I should be able to spend it" argument. eric ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!eric
