friends will you share the same account with your spouse

thiese is true life story a guy shared the same account with his wife and did a biz with one of his friends,the profit of the biz which belongs to both him and his friend.Unfortunately for him his wife has withdrawn vatually al the money in his acount for their wedding expensis.IF THIS HAPPENS TO YOU WHAT WILL YOU DO?

cry. slap her a coupla times.
sell her wedding gifts to recover some money.
mortgage her family house.

If that wedding hasn't taken place yet, he might need to reconsider .

Seriously though, for a husband and wife to successfully operate a join account there has to be constant and open communication, they must have joint financial goals that they have DISCUSSED and AGREED and they must both be TRUSTWORTHY. I'd say this couple needs to have some serious discussions about money to make sure that having a joint account is the right thing for them.

As for what to do right now? He should sell anything sellable out of all that she has bought and pay back his friend.

as for me, i can never keep that kind of money in a joint account.the guy. theres nothing wrong in keeping a joint account with ur spouse as long as you have a personal account. the guy should just let it go, he kinda asked for it

Its his wife what can he do.
He can only onpen a new account for his Biz were his wife cannot go.
By the way as the wife was biz spending the money did he never bother asking her were she was taking the money from.

you guyz have really spoken tremediously well but i want you to know that this is real okay.

i do agree with what consultant said.[b][b]they must have joint financial goals that they have DISCUSSED and AGREED and they must both be TRUSTWORTHY. I'd say this couple needs to have some serious discussions about money to make sure that having a joint account is the right thing for them.
BUT i still have a questionto ask you guys WHat if the guy or the girl pretended to be good ,nice,trustwothy and stuffs like that and later u discovered that this girl or this guy is NOT truely who i thought he was?

NOW what will you do in this case.

i need ur responds .

b4 or after the wedding

yes i don't mind sharing an account with the man i marry. I would of course have my personal account, my business account that always stays separate and then we can have a joint account for us, you know to save for things and use for our life together, why not? i believe i wont be marrying a total nitwit so i don't see a problem.

Well if things go pear shaped then that's life and that is why you never put all your eggs in one basket, many women do this, i know and i will sleep comfortable with the knowledge that i have myself sorted just in case of anything

this case explained above goes to show they were both quite ridiculous, so did they never receive bank statements? how come the man never looked into their savings on a regular basis? even me as a singleton always takes stock every 4wks of my expenditure and do my budget and allocate money for bills etc, so why didnt they as a couple not sit own together to see their spendings? i know some times as women we can see lovley things and want to go crazy but if you not very disciplined that's where a partner comes in , two heads can sit together and keep check on each other.

okay mamaput,its after wedding

hey euphoria great suggestions u have just made but u havent answered these one what if the guy or girl you married pretended to be nice intially[i.e before you guys got married} and later when u guys have gone far you discovered that the guy or the girl was only living a life of pretence WHAT WILL YOU DO?

Then you better get rid of the person be4 the children come and marry another person.
As they say shit happens.
Forget the money spent on the wedding it cant buy happyness.
