I do. It's how I budget the household expenses. It also keeps the money in one place, so that in the event of a financial emergency we don't have to spend time moving money around.
Hell no. My money is mine. If I ever have a partner I'd hope they'd want their own as well. I want nothing to do with their money and they shouldn't want to have anything to do with mine.
Never said that. It just won't be coming out of a joint account. It would be out of their own money. So it would have to be a gift or dinner or whatever out of their own desire to do it for me. Not because they got to use shared money. It would be more meaningful to me if they used their own money to get a gift or pay for dinner or whatever
I do! It works great, but in order to keep a feeling of personal control and independence we each take 15 bucks a week for spending money, no questions ask. Asking permission to buy things can be degrading to both. So just save up those 15 boyee
I did once. Turned out she was terrible with money and always bought stuff even if she was broke. So it didn’t last long. If you don’t share the same financial goals, don’t share a bank account.
I would have to really think hard on it but I mostly prefer if me and my future girl have our own bank accounts so neither of us ruined something for the other person. 😂

Hmm. No gifts, no buying each other dinner. Interesting.

Yes but I think it's important to have a shared account and separate accounts. These separate accounts would not be hidden.
Depends how serious I am about them, or how long we’ve been together. Even then, it’ll only be a joint one we pay the same amount into.
Me and my ex-wife had a joint bank account, although we still had our own sole accounts. The joint account was just for mortgage and bills etc.
Sure but not my salary account or savings account It's need to be a smaller account for grocery shopping.
I would, even though I'm likely to be the one making more than him. Otherwise your not in a relationship your roommates that occasionally have sex.
We have a joint savings account for some of our joint expenses. We each have our own separate checking and savings accounts.
My wife and I had a common account indeed, which has never been a problem. It's precious being able to trust someone like that.

AWW HELL NAWWW
I don't even let my partners live in the same house. The MOVING IN part ruins everything, let alone sharing a gawdam bank account

When you live with someone it is easier for sharing bills and alike. Obviously it’s a trust thing. You need to know the person.
But it’s quite easy to open an account together and then still have your own.
That can get messy considering I'm something of a miser and if he's a spendthrift, I'd stab him with a steak knife lol
Depends on how long you've been together of course. I think it would be best to have your own accounts and a shared one.
No, I wouldn’t feel comfortable with that. And it seems like it could start a lot of arguments.
It sure would make things easier rather than the annoying "I need rent" "I need x for power" "I need x for internet"
Yes you should have a joint account for things you buy; utilise or invest in as a couple but also have a personal account on the side.
sure, I wouldn’t mind but then we’ll have to be living together and everything otherwise it doesn’t really make sense
