my husband & i do the same, and have since we've been together. he has no idea what i spend on fabric, or what it costs....he came up to my studio & looked at my stash & said "you must have a $100.00 worth of fabric here" yeah times 10or 12, but then again, i don't know what he spent for those 4 sheets of cherry plywood, or the cherry stock he just got... works for us!
Works for me. We have always had separate checking accounts too. I never question what he spends and he doesn't question me, although I always balance the accounts. And every year I enter checking account and charge card transactions into excel and then sort to know where our money was spent. That can be a real shocker sometimes. LOL
