I'm young guy and completely agree. It doesnt make much sense to get married, and then not get on track to pursue the same financial goals. For myself and my wife we dont have "his and hers" money or cars. She doesnt drive the Camaro since it is a manual, but in the end it is hers just as much as it is mine.
To those that said people split it up because of lawyers...anything acquired after marriage is typically "marital property" and as such is up for debate during a divorce. Having a seperate bank account alone does not protect that money or assets.
