You're clearly typing to people who do the separate accounts thing.

Household expenses and family-related expenses (OUR family--husband, wife, and kid) such as vacations: Joint account

Personal stuff such as personal trips, clothes, and in the rare event that HE (I wouldn't do it with my family nor would my family need my money) decides to help a stupid family member who gets in trouble: Separate account
