There is little practical effect in our situation. Just because the halacha says the money is my husband’s, doesn’t mean he can keep me out of the loop. We both know how much money is coming in/going out, what our credit scores are, where all our money goes etc. We never hide purchases from each other. We pay our bills and file our taxes together to that we both know what is going on. It is so important that regardless of who is making the money, or who the assets ‘belong’ to, BOTH spouses at least know the general financial situation.
