ikamefa: U.B. real funny child I swear. Ehm, well, i think nigerians are used to (more used to) the guy being the breadwinner, so if he is thrifty with the finances, the women are more understanding. they'll just think "he is just being the man" But here in the states, well, need I say more ? You know finances is the # 1 source of divorces here in the states. Chikena |

GNature: GNature, you my good friend and will def. invite you and Ika for my wedding. I'm not thinking of getting married yet but just asking the question for safety. It still doesn't make sense having a joint account. I hate quarelling over money It's so humiliating Not a Nigerian huh? I've taken proper note |

Everyone's got to be independent men. Having a joint account definitely means there's no trust and on the long wrong, both of you will not be comfortable about it. |

Osegwu, you getting me confused here I'm still reviewing your 'application' tho' |
Re: Having A Joint Account With Your Spouse? by prettyfola(f): 10:17am On Jan 15, 2007 |
wellll, having a joint account with your spouse is not the best at all, to me it doesnt make sense because. if their is no money the both of them will suffer it seriously. but in the case were u av seperate acount when one goes blue the the other can help but when its joint the cash gets exhausted easily and fast, especially when they both r extravagant. in a family were the both av seperate account u hardly know when the go blue becos one will always b there to lift the other and everything will be looking balanced, |

My sweet Loving radiant, My heart is in flame for my love for you Don't get confused, I am in love with you if you don't mind? Still me and you Incidentally you did not say anything about our Joint Account? |
Re: Having A Joint Account With Your Spouse? by breez(m): 5:24pm On Jan 22, 2007 |
i believe there should be a sort of family purse, yes there could be a joint account in that regard. But who says we cannot hav individual purses too? i see separate accounts as a bit individualistic, and joint, too enthusiastic. |

Thanks kinda difficult, with the kind of ladies in town now. Infact serious prayer need to be conducted, before such could be done. but if there is a good understanding b/w the both, they could go ahead. But the man should try and be smarter. hehe hehe |

That's the way it should be. For me, All the bills(Mortgage, daycare, kids education funds, living expenses, etc.) come out of the joint account. Each of us also have our individual accounts that we use for personal stuff. 50% of our take take home goes to the joint account and the other half to our personal accounts. I bring home more than twice the wife, but, this has worked very well for us. Most of my friends also follow the same procedure. It's definitely a good idea to separate funds for personal stuff from funds from funds for the bills. |
Re: Having A Joint Account With Your Spouse? by Seun(m): 10:18pm On Feb 09, 2007 |
That's the same idea I settled upon when discussing with a friend. 50% at most goes into the joint account. |
