Joint Account With My Spouse?

the one i also heard was that of man thinking ''am the man'' focus on his family sending WU up and down to their every cries and whins. so when it comes to the joint account thing, women and men should make sure they talk and set things in order. no one person in the relationship or the family should be above.

although I'm not in health related field, I go still remember that my sister   

hello,
please how do I post a new topic so that it appears on the home page.
thankssssssssssssss

Stop preaching doom. For thousands of years women have been spending men's hard earned money, what is wrong with things turning around for once.

Afterall the change in societal structure and serviced based economy has given women the edge.

The first fight was equality with men, now u have it all owed to mens generosity and gentleness, now ur next move I guess would be starve the men of funds, since u could'nt get away with sex only. 

don't put the cart before the horse. Get married first before having a joing account. Big NO NO for me when i am in a relationship with someone.

why not? Myself and my spouse both share two joints accounts, and we have personal ones.
and i also agree with seun , commit 50% and keep the remain 50%.
You'll both be able to curb each others expenses and still plan for a greater responsibilities and projects.


ur next of kin ?,   i bow out here

it's a nice idea, but i don't think i like it

even if i should do it, i'll still have my seperate account.

first of all having a jonit account with your spouse (husband or wife) does not show how much you guys LOVE each other.

In case were earn or salaries for the couple is low or were one person earns more than the other it may be difficult, it is best for them to have a joint account or when they probally have to cooperate on certain projects together i.e paying schools fees, paying for rent building a house, send their kids to HAVARD or OXFORD for their masters 

My parents ran a joint account. and it worked for them, that is not to say it will work for EVERYBODY.I DO NOT BUY THE IDEA

    @Topic
 Why not? Very welcome idea if you ask me.
In fact for a spendthrift like myself we'd both be heading  for financial insolvency if
she doesn't have a stoically firm say in my finances. I would strongly advocate a joint account where 70% of
each partner's income goes. Both should be signatories to the account of course. The remaining 30%
can then guarantee each individual's independence. That way nobody feels choked.

 between, the joint account shld be that which requires both parties to sign should the amount
about to be withdrawn exceed an agreed sum eg 30% of the total balance. ^{Make kasala no burst.}

have a joint account for meeting the common needs of your family but still keep your own personal account for meeting your personal needs. There is nothing wrong in having more than one account.

You may be married but you are still an individual with your personal needs. You mustn't go to your spouse for discussion or permission everytime you need to buy a bra or you need to send some money to your mum. Get my drift ?

Is it just me, or does it seem like we have an issue of trust with a majoriy of Bros/Sis'in the diaspora?, [size=6pt][/size](please ignore that)

Why speak of love if there is no trust?, you can't love who you don't know, and if you don't trust who you do know, how can you love who you don't trust?

Why speak of love and crave ''índependence''?

How do you ''love'' with reservations?

, people,people, people,

Let us tell ourselves the truth, a lot of us enter into relationships and even marriage with everything else but love on our minds and in our hearts!

That is why this thread even exists,  Central to this whole debate is the sublime question, do you trust your partner?

If you truly do, regardless of previous experience, firsthand or observed, you would not have reservations or hang ups about dependence.

Love in its true sense is interdependent. QED

I have a joint account with my wife, any thing other than that is really a form of infidelity. Sounds a bit absolute, but think about it for a moment, ask yourself, what are the things that should guide our most intimate relationships?

If complete openness, trust and interdependence are included in your list ( this is me being presumptious), then it stands to reason that anything that detracts from those elements is to some degree, infidelity.

I rest my case.

hey jidody, loooooooong time.
hw are u dear?

Efuah, I'm good oh. Still at the War Front.

Hope you've been good.

u can ve joint acoount and still maintain ur personal account its really a sad case when u hear about guys that spend their girls money.

@ Funloving.

I'm curios my brother, humor me,

What are the hard facts that would prevent you from owning a joint account with the MRS ?

, and what is idealistic about owning your money and spending it in common?, where trust is not an issue?

Cmon man, lets face it, people refuse do it, ''just in case'',

my problem is , just in case what?

Its ok if people want to keep separate personal accounts for sundry expense, but wanting to avoid a joint account for your major funds is something that beats me!

  @seunThe best approach is to put 50%of your salary in your joint account and hold the other 50%. I guarantee it! 
 
 
me thinks this is the best way for me and my spouse(to be) to actually save towads certain projects and il still be able to maintain some sort of financial independence.meaning i could still buy those expensive designer sunglasses without havin to hear a sermon.I love my fiance to bits and i know hes very responsible and always cautious about what and how he spends money,So if i still get to have 50% of my money i know il be able to buy some of the luxuries which am sometimes a sucker for(this does not mean am a spendthrift).just like a little things that my man thinks are outrageous and 'unnecessary'.
