Do you have a joint bank account with your spouse?

Question

Answer

What's mine is yours and yours is mine! (Plus I'm a teacher so I would starve if I don't have my SOs income too 😂)

Answer

When we first got married I kept a separate account because I was paying off bills I had before we got married and it was autopay deal where I got less interest by using that account but not if I switched. As soon as it was paid I closed it. My husband and I feel we are supposed to share all of our burdens so money isn't an exception. We don't have a problem buying each other surprise gifts and we agree on what to spend on what. We respect each other enough not to criticize purchases or spend unnecessarily.  If you think you need a separate account 'just in case' it seems you already have a foot out the door.

Answer

I work for a very large bank. I can tell you lots of younger couples keep separate accounts. Many have one joint that bills are paid from, but keep the rest of their finances separate. Do whatever works for your relationship.

Answer

I feel like if I take someone’s last name via marriage, I should share a bank account with them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Joint everything, what is his is mine and mine his! This was always the case and thank goodness that was the case as I’m unable to work now and the little I get combination with his pays everything. I just couldn’t imagine having to go and ask or say well all I have is this which out weight his money loads! Does that mean I don’t have anything as I can’t contribute as much as him so I can’t treat myself. Money in a committed relationship should never be an issue especially after marriage or thinking of kids what if u want to take more time off what then if money is his or mine. U would have to choose that I haven’t enough left after bills etc if I paid equally x
