Is it ok to have separate accounts, you know his, hers and ours

Also, what would your reaction be if you found out your wife/husband has a secret bank account? (his/her name or someone else's name)

There is nothing bad in having a seperate bank accont.
If i found out my woman has a secret account, as long as there is money in it for us to spend, no wahala.
Seriously, i often tell men to have some money stashed away, in an account, in an investment, cos nothing kills a man when he needs to take care of his family and there is no money to do that.

1. Great idea 2. Be suspicious, unless it's family someone needs to explain him/herself

I think its ok. We always used to have joint account for house stuff (50/50) and our own private accounts when we lived in the UK. I liked that hubby didn't see how much I blow on shoes, manicures etc!!

Funnily enough now we are in Nigeria, we don't even have a joint account and his finances are a lot more private!! Think its just the norm here.

Nothing bad in having or running same accounts with yor spouse but be vigilant cos anything could happen.

we operate a joint(for the home)
Private accts(for personal needs or whatever)
Anybody that really works,deserves his/her personal acct . . .If i can work,then i shld be able to have some money for myself and use it without apologies.IMO
For full-time housewives and househusbands,i guess they "might" not be able to enjoy that priviledge.
That aside,this topic has been overflogged here in NL.

That has saved so many Nigerian women, i can't shout! The moment you leave your dads house, you've got to step up and look out for yourself.

It is very much okay as long as its not a secret account.
