We do have pretty different incomes and working hours. Wealth is absolutelly a shared affair, but we could not get to agree on how to invest the savings. We have pretty different risk tolerance and asset class affinity, so we decided to split proportionally and grant each other freedom with whatever is not necessary for the family needs. Most likely we'll re-evalute the criteria in the future if absolute value of our savings diverge too much or if our investing choices will have markedly different ROIs.
