The short answer is that my wife and I have different opinions about how to track data.

My wife and I have separate bank accounts

...and? How is that directly relevant?

[stirfish]

We gather our own data without any conflicts. Sorry, I thought that was apparent.

It just seems like an out-of-context statement.

The entire thread was about accounting, then a sub-thread on family accounting, then you pop in to just say 'I do my accounting solo, as does my wife" which may be on-topic, but just not relevant.

[stirfish]

My wife and I are a family. In a sub thread about family accounting, I said how this family does accounting. I don't know what to tell you.

Technically yes you are correct.

But the intention of your parent was "when funds start to co-mingle or you get more complicated accounts" and saying "Don't co-mingle" doesn't help answer the question for those who do co-mingle and asked for help in this thread.
