[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 112252, member: 1485"] I'm with juanr on this one: Don't keep purchases secrets. Especially big ones, like guns. You may not "ruffle feathers" now, and it might not be a big deal, but keep it up and it's a recipe for stress and negativity. Better off just being honest and open. We have three checking accounts: A joint and individuals accounts for each of us. We both work full-time, and the majority of our paychecks goes into the joint account for mortgage payments, bills, food, car maintenance, etc. Our personal accounts are for whatever the heck we want and neither one of us can say diddly squat to the other about what he or she is spending their own money on. It's saved us a lot of arguments. My folks argued about money constantly growing up. I believe of all the fights I heard, 95 percent were money related. I swore I'd never be like that, and having the three-account system is a huge cornerstone. [/QUOTE]
