If things get tough for one of us we will adapt our way of doing things to a way that works. This system doesn't have to remain exact until death do us part. It can change as our lives change.

that's cool if it works for you. it seems like your wife gets to have her cake and eat it too with both spending and a savings safety net while you get neither advantage, though.
perhaps i'm just lucky that my wife and I have similar philosophies so i've never had to figure this out.
