I guess every family is different. I don't usually buy expensive stuff that cost more than my usual "monthly savings" without "discussing" it with my girlfriend (well, usually it's more like I'm telling her that I'm going to buy this gadget and she goes "I don't understand what that thing does, but if you want you should buy it, you've been saving up money the whole year"
)
I think that if you can save up a percentage of your income for yourself, it'd make relationships much easier. like 75% of your paycheck is for mutual funds, and 25% is for your own savings which you can use any way you want. (luckily I have an ok-paycheck, but I still won't buy things I don't think it's worth the money (iliad)
)
