We also keep for ourselves any bonuses we each get at work. This is our weekly/yearly "fun money" and my collecting budget. All other money we earn is considered "family money" which is used for bills, vacations, further savings, etc. and is off limits.
I realize this system wouldn't work for everyone but it's served us well for the last ten years. We've never had an argument or even a disagreement about money.

I really like your system.
