I couldn’t imagine not having combined accounts? We are building our life together. Not keeping one foot out the door

It’s not as complicated as you’re making it. We know what the bills are, we know what they cost, we know roughly what’s left and we each spend as

I didn’t go into marriage thinking “what if I get divorced”. It’s our money. I was a SAHM for so many years I would have nothing

It’s so much easier to pay the joint bills with a joint account, especially when there are dual incomes involved.

Separate accounts - I don’t want to budget my own money combined with his. We split the bills 50/50 and then we handle our own retirement/savings

Realized this with my ex wife. Individual bank accts are important. Have one joint one where both sides proportionally contribute for bills.

literally the one thing that saved my mom when my dad died was separate finances - just so she wasn’t held accountable for all of his debt

In healthy relationships there is usually an amount that can be spent on whatever you please without checking in first

No one said the individual bank accounts go away, and beyond that, there is no such thing as “financial independence” when you live with someone, even

Different things work for different relationships. If you aren’t working & have no income, it can be unnecessary

I am in finance and getting married this June. We have our own accounts but also opening an account together. Prenups are very important. I also think this is a conversation that happens before 1

What if at retirement age, one spouse has saved for retirement & is ready to travel. Meanwhile the other spouse has not saved anything? A spouse’s financial behavior impacts the other spouse.

When you get married, the two become one and that includes your money. If you aren’t ready for that then don’t get married.

we have a joint account for all shared expenses. And personal for personal. And shared contributions is equal to ratio of income

Even in separate accounts, spouses are still entitled to various assets.
