"Hers" and "Ours"

My son is watching "Married with children." The wife has a job, and the money she earns is hers. The money her husband earns is "ours." It was the same when my wife was working. She had her money, and she had our money. Women are clever that way.

When I was considerably younger I had a girlfriend who would say "what is mine is mine and what is yours is mine."

And yet, life goes on! That is one of the first rules that needs discussed when getting married. The first one smart enough to make the rule wins!

I once heard a guy splitting some money from a "joint account," counting it this way: "One for you; and, one for me. Two for you; and, one, two for me. Three for you; and, one, two, three for me. . ." The "other guy" [The "countee"] never seemed to catch on. . .until he looked at the two piles when the "Countor" was finished and had picked up HIS pile; and, left the room!

Not for me. The money my wife made at her job went into a joint bank account along with the money I made from my job.You mean it doesn’t work that way for everyone 😳😂

To me women are like computers -- you can't live with them and you can't live without them!

And that's just the beginning.
The men decided that computers are feminine because:
No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
The language they use to communicate with each other is totally incomprehensible.
Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
As soon as you commit to them, you spend half your disposable income on buying accessories for them.
The women decided that computers are masculine because:
In order to gain their attention, you have to turn them on.
They are full of data, but are still clueless.
They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but most of the time, they are the problem.
As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better one.

I loved that series.
My sister has been married (to the same man), for over 25 years, and they
still have separate checking accounts. I never understood that about the
"two income families".
I'm sure that there is a real reason for having separate accounts, but the
"His Money, Her Money" has never computed in my brain.
Could be they are living two separate lives of fantasy (or whatever)?
