Just seems really really weird to me. What's mine is hers and what's hers is mine.

I've posted it on here before but my wife and I have separate accounts. We're planning on keeping it this way until both of us pay off a majority of our personal debt.
When it comes to mutual bills though.....we split it down the middle. It doesn't go off of what each of us make. If rent is $1000 (which it's not)....then we each pay $500.
