Joint accounts gives room for transparency and with that both spouses will have a peace of mind about their money

Yes, that's d plan but will still have my own personal account and so will she. Nobody gets access to the joint account except we both sign up on it.

If necessary.....

You spend your money how you wish. I spend my money as my heart lead me. We can easily transfer funds back and forth for household chores and kids stuffs when required.
You work the work, you spend your money. I work the work , i spend my money

Lemme think about it.......
Will soon get back to you

Wife, Of course...

It doesn't stop her or myself from owning our own personal account

rawpadgin:
yes i can

mata fact, I intend to run a joint account with my girl as soon as i put a ring on her finger

That could be very dangerous...

Goodluck though

Why not? James St Patrick did(Ghost)

mizzbouqui:

Lolsss, why will you wish to mary someone that plays nairabet, I believe you are joking tho

hi...you are good looking.sure we can roll together.

Are you talking of my company Acct or your salary Acct, because my company Acct dont bear my name how much more my wife name.
.... rules for the poor.

Every income account should be joint. It leads to agree happy and successful marriage.

No! I can't , read the article I attached.

Don't let anyone discourage you. That's the best decision.
I wonder why anyone would hide money from their spouse

Sexxkillz:
Yup.

I'll have a joint account with her while also running my personal account. We'll both decide what percentage of our earnings will go into the joint account.

Then you and your spouse will have secrets , why the need for that?

Iolo:
If you don't trust your wife well enough to run finances jointly, then what's the point of getting married to her?

YES

Good question

korazon:
So that he can use all the money in our joint account to play nairabet abi.......No thank you!

LOL your dating some with a gambling problem, dump him before its too late.
If u already married. Pray for him. Make your account in such a way the cheque must be signed by both parties.

charix:
People do it. Nothing new there. It's all part of the 'love'.

Down the line though, the shared account would remain only for formality-sake. A few years into the marriage both individuals go don wise up; separate accounts for personal use and a joint account just to say we have one.

It goes beyond that. If one spouse dies, do you know the hell the other will go through in trying to recover money in an individual account?
From probate or letter of administration to bank manager wahala, it could take years not to mention the very high inheritance tax, in lagos it's like 15%! At the end you will lose 50% or more...
All this can be cured if your spouse is signatory to your account or you both have joint account.

Can't see any big deal in it.

Better still, a joint account separate from personal accounts. A standing order will pay a certain amount into the joint account monthly.

Because if you operated alone an account for good 15 years before marriage or even from childhood, why not keep it personal?

All nice about inheritance BUT.......

In majority of spousal killings, money is the root cause. Maybe the rigmarole of claiming the money might discourage such act a little bit.

You never can tell. The heart of man/woman is desperately wicked. A man's/woman's worst enemy is usually within his gates.

Yup, for household expenses.

Iolo:

YES

You are talking as if trust is a permanent something

Its very very easy to lose and almost impossible to get back

mizzbouqui:
As for me I can.
Guys what is your take on this?

Why not? If I can marry you, what else can't I do with you?

You simply don't trust ur spouse then. No marriage can work without trust.
Besides your spouse dose not need a joint account before they kill for money...

My dear, trust is good, control is better.

Joke apart, fact is you never can tell. We go into things blue-eyed. Think of tomorrow too.
Remember that 50% of marriages fail these days. Virtually all trust in the beginning but we know how many end up.

Many stars have regretted losing millions in divorce, when a simple pre-nup agreement could have sorted it.

If you were enrolling in a school & you were told that 50% will not graduate, won't you think carefully first?

But sadly nobody will warn you about this reality. It's all about the wedding, party, celebration, etc. Anyone who warns you would even become your enemy, a hater who doesn't wish you well.

It is also not that simple. Change is the only constant.

A loving trusted spouse of today can change tomorrow. Bad friends can play a part.
