@travelingtoretirement: The best financial plan as a married couple is the one that you BOTH agree to whether thats proportional to income, fully combined or yours/mine/ours In 2025, financial problems contributed to 20-40% of all divorce cases. Keeping separate accounts doesn’t protect you in the way you think either. In most states, income earned during a marriage is a marital asset. It doesn’t matter whose name is on the account, your spouse can still have a legal claim to it which is why I think a prenup should be something to consider before marriage!

These are amazing rules! I have very similar financial goals (living below means, planning to retire early, and prioritizing travel). If this question is not too personal, do you and your partner plan to have children and how does that factor in to your financial planning goals?
