My folks had a joint checking and savings acct for 30 years (plus the farm acct). They never really stopped arguing over money until they each set up their own. When I got married my wife and I tried the joint acct thing. We were married 6 weeks and she wrote an $800 check to buy wedding pictures (in addition to the $2000 her folks had already spent). I didnt know it and paid the gas bill/bounced the check (1 and only one I ever did). I hit the ceiling. We now have our own. Each of us kicks into 1 joint acct for the household bills (I pay 1/3 more b/c I make 1/3 more). Other stuff we each have our own. Sometimes a bill may get paid with 3 checks but we havent had another fight (about anything) in 10 years and only a couple of disagreements (about $$).

We do meet your criteria though. Both of us were late 20's/early 30's when we got married. Both of us had professional reputations and careers. As a courtesy we usually tell the other one before we go spend big $$ on something unusual (I dont tell her necessarily when I order fertilizer but I do tell her before I go buy a tractor or a dozen cows).
