100% agree! And if you have a stay at home partner, the partner should receive money in their personal account for their contribution being made to household expenses.

We have 3 accounts. His, hers and a joint for bills, food, etc. If we take a vacation, we equally contribute to the joint to cover it. Never a single argument about our finances.

And because I had my own bank account I was able to leave my narcissistic abusive ex husband

This is a feminist point of view with banking on divorcing and not staying. My wife and I join all finances and if anything ever happened no matter cheating or what we would split it all down the damn middle and she can do what she wants

I never needed my own account. It was just one account we both had access to. Never was an issue. He passed away after 28 years of marriage. He made sure we were well taken care of. I guess I was just blessed.

Married 20 years. Joint accounts. No fights over money. There's also plenty of married people who have separate accounts and don't fight over money.
TONS of married people with joint and with separate who do fight over money.
The accounts don't magically make or break the relationship. How the couple manages their finances and how they communicate with each other is the make or break it.

Agree 💯. The only account we have together are for household expenses. Other than that we each have our own account. We don’t have access to each other accounts

i agree we had a joint account for the bills and we each had our single account for our mad money
I know Dave Ramsey doesn't agree to that but it worked for us

No way. My husband and I have completely different views on spending. I like to save he likes to spend. So I’m not putting my money into an account he has access to spend from

My husband and I married in our 40s and each have our own established checking and savings accounts. We opened a joint account for mortgage, bills, taxes, etc. and we each contribute every month. We have never fought about money. Other things - yes, but never about money.

The wife's money is her money, the husband's money is our money, and splitting the bills is just plain crazy.

Facts. My wife said her biggest fear would be financial abuse and not having the ability to leave. I gave her 1/2 the savings to put in an account that only she has access to and I deposit money in it regularly.

It’s a red flag in a marriage. This didn’t exist 200 years ago the way it does today. Anybody following this advice will be single forever.

Love Vivian but I respectfully disagree here 💛 if you find a truly God fearing man (not one who just pretends), he will take care of you. I’ve seen it with my own parents 💕
