How many married couples share a bank account with their significant other?

Question

Answer

I have 3 accounts 1 of with I share with my husband for putting money back for rainy day. Instead of a savings account it's a checking so we can add or remove money in case of emergency, it's a free checking account no minimum required to stay in it. Since I'm disabled I get paid from the VA and Social Security each check goes in different accounts and goes towards different bills. My SO pays his old bills though his account. I know it sounds weird but it helps us budget easier.

Answer

My husband and I have tried sharing accounts and it just doesn’t work for us. What we do now is we each have a Chime (online bank) account and we can easily and quickly send each other money through Chime if we need to. We also get our direct deposits a lot faster and there are no banking fees or overdraft fees to ever worry about either bcs they don’t allow overdrafts... (let’s just say I never even heard of overdrafts until I met him...)

Answer

We get an “allowance” from our checks for when we go out alone with our friends and for gifts or things we want. It’s worked really well and I think it’s very fair
