For tracking "fun money", maybe, but for day to day stuff, that sounds insane and also like a recipe for divorce.

We have separate accounts but it’s not like what you say at all. I pay mortgage, phones, and insurance. She pays the rest. We save together.
Our bills get paid, we don’t care what the other one spends money on. Money might have been an issue 3-4 times in 11 years of marriage.
