Maybe a double signature for the "bad with money" member.<BR/><BR/>Then whatever agreement with the balance of income can work. Some SAHMs have allowances. Double income folk sometime split the difference, some just keep what they made. doesnt matter tome. As long as the bills are paid.lyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188399758314013140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-63974945694439579142008-12-11T18:46:00.000-05:002008-12-11T18:46:00.000-05:00We have a joint account and seperate accounts.

But, not much because most of the bills are paid out of my account anyway.<BR/><BR/>We each need to have our own "mad money" that doesn't need discussion about where it is spent. We are both pretty good about that.<BR/><BR/>We don't have too many arguments about money anymore. We just try to pay wahtever needs to be paid on time and keep it moving.Bballmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164185988536829751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-77854630267856322682008-12-11T14:41:00.000-05:002008-12-11T14:41:00.000-05:00Pride...men have a whole lot of it!

(And that sure made it easy when the divorce rolled around. LMAO)<BR/><BR/>After all those years, I am engaged. And I still object to joint accounts with one exception: The account is setup for a specific money saving goal and each is responsible for putting in a certain amount each week (e.g. a vacation account). There's no way I'd share the account where my salary gets direct deposited.Hawa Bondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17191367234186509296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890103892896813737.post-65508109248851145652008-12-11T08:24:00.000-05:002008-12-11T08:24:00.000-05:00I think when I am married I will prefer separate a...I think when I am married I will prefer separate accounts.

If you felt your spouse couldn't manage money well (or even if they could) would you secretly stash money away?<BR/><BR/>2. Should either spouse be able to make unnecessary withdrawls that aren't "bill" or "household" related?<BR/><BR/>3. What is with this whole "money in his pocket" thing? And exactly how much money is enough money?princessdominiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487209892843939470noreply@blogger.com
