In your plan, do you each have individual accounts in addition to the shared account?
We sort of go the opposite route, with individual accounts for discretionary spending, and a separate account for paying the fixed costs, including the allowances to discretionary spending. We found that spending from a shared account required excessive coordination. It was easier for us to separate the responsibilities and manage our own budgets, like departments in a corporation.
