What does the green screen say?

[jerp]

We did when we were newlyweds. We were 30 and 29, both worked and had been independent for years and giving that autonomy up seemed hard . After a while we realized that was silly and combined everything.

My wife has access to all my accounts, but we don't have a checking account together.

[El Coop]

Checking - mine, hers, farm, joint for bills
Savings - taxes, mutual
Investment - mutual

[doghouse]

20 years of marriage here and separate accounts. We can both write checks on either account. Works for us.

[TxAg]

All combined here

Joint accounts.

[Shane]

We have always had 2 joint accounts. It's a pain in the rear for two people to try to work out of one account. We each have an account that we use. We each have access to both, and they're at the same bank. We can move money back and forth between them whenever we need to, and we can each see whatever activity is going on. Nothing hidden. Both "our money". But we each just have one account of our own to keep up with. We divide up bills and expenses that we're each responsible for (proportionate to our incomes, not half and half). We each tithe, save, and all of that.

It works great for us. I'd hate to go to one account and try to keep it straight between two people. But that's just us.

We have separate accounts only because we banked at the same place when we were married and we both have access to both accounts. But I never have any idea what's in either account because I work and the wife handles all the bills and pretty much everything else. But we talk about big money purchases. We keep the accounts separate so that not all our money is one account incase something happens to the account

[Codie]

No right answer - seperate checking with joint savings for us

Joint because you're a couple /team. Monies and decisions are shared.

27 years of joint accounts here.

This, after 15 years.

[Danimal14]

Both...joint account for bills and common expenses and separate accounts for trivial individual expenses, keeps the bickering down on the trivial things. Both throw in equal/fair share on joint and the rest is for hunting gear haha

We had separate for about 3 months after getting married and it was a pain. 15 years being married with joint account both have log in info for the account. Easier to keep up. She hands me the receipts and I do the books.

I like this system, too.

[BBRU]

The wife and I combined our accounts about a year after we got married, haven't looked back.

[salth2o]

Joint accounts, but I have a little rat hole $ stashed.
