Do yo think..should married couple have their own bank accounts? I've no problem with it, if they are both working and paying their fair share of the bills. How about if one is a spender, and one a saver?
Why should the spender have access to money that the other is trying to save? give me your opinion mylot....

if one is spender and the other is saver...
they both should spend the money on their basic things and should try to save too for their better future.
there should be equal balance.

If a man makes a lot more than his wife, i think it's good to have a own bank accounts, then the wife is easy access to the money. But if both of them having similar salary, i think husband and wife should take half of the responsibilty for all the costs.

Both of them having accounts could be fine only. Because when one can't go and withdraw from their ,account the other can do withdraw. Further each one can spend on their own without putting pressure on oneself.
There is no problem in one spender and one saver. It is also a good one. Here savings are done while the above can't save their money.

I think that being married is combining lives and finances are one of those things. If my hubby makes more then me or if I make more then him then why should they other not share. My hubby does make a lot more then me, I am a stay at home mom so I dont get a check, but if I worked out of the home then I would still feel the same. What is mine is ours and what is his is ours.
