SAHM: do you and your SO have a joint bank account?

Question

Just curious if it's common for stay at home mom's and their partners to have a joint bank account or do they just give you money when you need it?

Answer

We have a shared account with separate debit cards so that we have equal access to the money.

Answer

We have our own accounts and a joint account account for the bills! I just tell him what I need him to transfer over and I of course do the same!

Answer

Joint! I make sure the bills are paid and I do all the budgeting so I have a debit card as well.

Answer

Joint. We only discuss purchases over $200 unless its groceries or a bill. We both check balances before we spend and don’t go crazy. 
I don’t have an “allowance” or am “given” money since I’m his equal partner. Not his child. We both put in 50/50 to our marriage and family so the money is mutual.

Answer

I’m a stay at home mom never worked actually we gave a jointed bank account and each have our own cards . I do shopping for clothes and food and pay bills and everything while I’m at home he works 24/7 so doesn’t have time to do anything

Answer

Joint. Always joint. This is a marriage—any money is ours, not his or hers. Would be fine same if I worked outside the home.

Answer

Not yet we just use my account.  He can’t be financially responsible so his paychecks are deposited into my account and I give him whatever is left over after bills and such.  We’ve been meaning to get a joint account, we’re just lazy and this has been working for us
