I've been trying for years to get my Spouse on board with the budget, but we've always kept separate accounts and we've each tackled separate bill lists in the past. This has worked for the most part in the past, however we are greatly altering our current life to move to a hobby farm and we're going to need a tighter budget. Do you recommend joint checking?

We actually have a "blow money" category that serves as an allowance for each of us. We pull the amount out in cash in each month, and can do whatever we want with it. We haven't done this since we've become focused on getting out of debt, but will again soon. Great point though and each spouse having their "own" spending money is nice and avoids some "issues" ;-) Great point plonkee.
