[GNC] Consolidation of family member accounts

[Adrien Monteleone]

In that case, you would probably be better served with two books, one 
for yourself and your wife.

In each of those books, you'd have some sort of 'family assets' account 
as a source of funds, that each of you might independently add money to 
before spending it. Either of you could then run reports on money spent 
from that family account. (an alternative would be to maintain a 3rd 
joint book.)

Regards,
Adrien
