My wife and I have “personal” accounts that are really joint accounts. I lol at some of the things she buys, but it’s “her” money. We are free to take money from each other, and it doesn’t usually lead to an argument or anything. I’d rather just take or have her take money she needs rather than trying to present a reason for borrowing it, especially when the other person may not be in the best position to hear why you need 20 bucks, when you need 20 bucks.

Being able to see what the other person is spending money on though is super helpful. I know what monthly expenses my wife has, and she knows what I have, allowing us to you know, have a single Netflix account instead of two separate accounts.
