    Something I did after getting married but wish I’d done all along:

    Two different accounts. (Three if married.) One for income and non-discretionary spending. One (per person) for “allowance”, which gets a set amount transferred from the main account every week.

    Keeps your essentials partitioned from the fun stuff, which keeps the essentials safe and the fun guilt-free. And it allows you to have a steady stream of allowance even if you only get a paycheck monthly or biweekly.
