My wife and I do the share model. However money is a very emotional thing.
The only thing I’m strict about is big picture. IE, Do we have enough savings?
Are we on track of retirement?
If I focused on keeping a fun money budget things would get stressful. IE is her hair, nails from fun money? When I take the kids to laser quest is that my fun money? Did we really need new placemats? Should that be fun money?
When there are no kids and both work full time it’s simple enough I guess. But when you are a parents it just gets too complicated.
