It avoids SO many arguments. I can't imagine the constant frustration I'd have if I had to see the purchases she was making.
Of course, this only works because we both make really good money and we are roughly equals when it comes to earning power and household duties. This would probably fail miserably for a working husband and a stay at home mother, or if combined income was relatively low (because the joint account would never build high enough)
