Do you and your husband have seperate bank accounts?

I am not married, however I have a live in bf =9 We do have 2 accounts but it is working fine for me. Usually the money are at home and we just take what we need. We also have a phonelink inbetween our accounts so that we both can transfer money from one to the other and we do all the time. I think it is just a matter of not getting around to get a joined one =)

My husband and I used to have separate accounts but that was due to issues my husband had. When his ex left him she cleaned their joint account out to the tune of 6,000 dollars. I understood that it wasn't me, he was just scared. We used his account for bills, I would deposit a certain amount from my pay in his account, and my account I used for everything else, like groceries or miscellanious purchases. Eventually, we gravitated to a joint account, he got over his trust issues, and it makes it a whole lot easier.

We have a joint account but I take care of the finanaces. I'm better at that than he is. We have squabbles about money but never out and out fights about it.

One account, period. I wrote an article on my views about this here: http://www.helium.com/tm/157111 Finances are a big part of life, an in a marriage it is key to be on the same page and ensure that both of your votes count. Draven the Respectful Atheist http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com
