It depends on how both of you feel about money. Some may like to have joint accounts some may not. Our household does not like the idea of having joint accounts because each of us have our own accounts before marriage. We (especially me) feel having joint accounts limits our financial freedom/independence that we have long enjoyed since prior to marriage. All accounts: checkings, savings and retirements, are therefore separated.
We split household expenses proportionately to income we each earn. Simply put, who earns more pays more. In this cease, he does. We each budget our own expenses, but using the same fashion, for example, a% of our salary each goes to saving towards retirements; b% goes to emergency funds, c% goes to household expenses we each are responsible for and d% goes to vacations/overseas trips. The rest is free to spend however we wish. Nonetheless, we try to have some left (mostly we do) to add into emergency and overseas trip funds.
We regularly let each other know our financial status. Should I want to buy a big item (over $100), I normally inform (not ask) him. So does he. He knows where and in what form my money is invested and vice versa. We normally discuss first if one of us wants to make new investments.
Luckily, we both are financially disciplined and responsible. When I see something other than necessity items I'd like to buy, I normally ask myself Do I really need it or simply want it?, Can I live without it? If for house decorating items, I will ask Where will I put it?, Is there any space for it? and "Will it go with the existing decor?". If the answers are more to "NO", then I simply walk off. Sometimes, I let it go for a week, if my urge persists, then I buy it. Mostly, it does not last and that means I do not need it. My husband applies the same technique.
I hope this may give you some ideas.
