That money covers all the house bills, but also include 'spending money' each month for stuff like if we get some food out or need to buy something for the house. It includes joint savings as well. That way whatever we have left in our own account is entirely ours to do what we want with. So if I want to buy a pair of trainers or a new game or even something bigger like a games console, there isn't any argument to be had as all the house stuff is taken care of already. Obviously I'd still tell the wife that I'm planning on getting something bigger (like when I bought the series x) but otherwise it's fair game.
