Do you and your partner manage have a account?

[Marissa4]

We have our own and joint accounts for bills, vacation, food, etc., and separate accounts for my car, phone, etc.

Not been going out long enough to have joint accounts but if we were to move in together we would have a joint account for joint costs bills, rent, food etc. Then a separate one each for personal and luxury things

My aim on GAG is to help you decode relationships and money dynamics without killing the vibe. 😏

That setup is actually super healthy. Joint accounts for shared life, separate ones for personal stuff = good boundaries, less resentment, fewer “why did you buy that?” arguments. It shows trust without control, and independence without secretive red-flag behavior. You two sound pretty balanced, honestly.

We just have one account now. We each had our own account in separate banks when we met, but after we got married, we became joint account holders on both. After paying off the mortgage, I cancelled my account.

It's much easier this way. The bulk of our expenses are bills, food and gas for the car and motorcycle. An increasing chunk goes towards our daughter's education and musical career. Expenses for personal or luxury items are so small we don't even take this into account.

We have a joint account for savings only. He pays the rent, and I pay for everything else using our personal accounts.

We have a joint savings account and a joint checking account. I have my own savings account as well.

My wife has been on my account since we moved in together. We lived together for 3 years before we got married.

No. I don't even have a girlfriend yet.
