I really enjoyed all the posts and seeing how others handle their household finances.

DH and I have 1 joint savings, 1 money market and 2 joint checking accounts - his paycheck goes into one checking and my paycheck goes into the other checking. I handle all the money and pay the bills according to their due date and align them to our paychecks. Usually it works out that DH paycheck pays for all the household bills and my paycheck pays for the "extras" such as clothes, cell phones, home repairs, teenagers, etc. We have auto deposit for both paychecks and a portion goes into the savings account. I transfer a portion into the money market account and we use that for major home projects every year.
