    Debt-free and Proud!
    I've been with my missus just over 2 years and we have a child on the way, and we don't pool money. Everything is split right down the middle, we're both happy with that and it works for us.

    I earn almost double what the missus does, and when she goes on maternity leave at the end of June I'll put money into her account to cover the shortfall of wages. If she needs any more she knows to ask.

    I don't see any need or benefit of pooling money.
