Ha yeah, it is an interesting discussion about our first world problems and privilege lol. What our privilege guarantees, among other things, is having choices.
Separating finances does not equal operating separately. We have short and long term joint goals, like any couple should.
It's really more about having the ability (and maybe more correctly the mindset that we are able) to make autonomous choices, which can certainly include me saving for something special for her/us as opposed to spending it on myself, or saving it for a rainy day - but I can make those choices clear of any concern.
