All these years it has just been our money. Used for what ever was needed. If we had money for toys we usually were in agreement when we got them. If the kids need something we agree on that also.
Now that we are older I am trying to convince my wife to put money aside in an account for her in case something happens to me so she won't have to wait for probate.
It's a partner / trust thing. I make nearly 3 times what my wife makes a year but it has never bothered me. The money belongs to the marriage.
However, if I had to start again I would have to think long and hard about sharing like that with someone else. I have kids and grandkids to think about and if someone I was serious about had the same, then I'm sure that some things would have to be in writing.
