Martinez39s:
See this woman.

Juliusmomoh:
Am confuse about it... Must we have joint account?

silibaba:
or you mean WOMAN WRAPPER

Obakoolex:

You are wise with your assumption but many won't see it so...ever since my woman came into my life, my finances has grown higher even business grown larger all because she's better than me in finances. So I wonder why I won't have a joint but of course be in charge of all finances as the man of the house

Nairaland is a place devoid of maturity and reasonable discourse.

I don't type for likes. I have a relationship and I am advising the op based on my experience.

Calling me simp, woman wrapper, and all that won't change anything.

When the time comes, I'll take my decision myself.

Leave them to wallow in their fun

NwaAmaikpe:




For what reason exactly?
Except your wife is the breadwinner and you need to keep a tab on her spending, I don't see a reason strong enough to necessitate the need for a joint savings account amongst couples.

But if you must have a joint acount with your wife, then the mandate on it MUST be that she will have to co-sign with you while you can sign alone on it.
The transaction alerts should also go to you alone.

Giving your wife financial autonomy or financial superiority is like buying a bullet for the assassin who has been paid to kill you.

Yusufisraelj:


Nope,this your submission doesn't follow.

Every relationship is unique, to that effect every family should deal with what works for them.

1. A family may do well when the woman handles finances, so the joint account is overseen by the woman and she gives a statement of credits and spending by month end.

This will work in a setting where the man is a high risk taker there by a good earner and doesn't do well with savings, most times you'll find men like this settling with ladies who's risk appetite is not as much as theirs and handles money better.

2. A family will do well if the man happens to manage finances better than the woman, he earns well and equally handles money better than the woman, so in this case the woman makes a budget and bring to him, he then funds it.

Above all, trust should be built in all long term relationships and everyone should be open and seek the best interest of the relationship rather than self.

izzou:
My girlfriend has always been better with finances than me. She's very prudent.

When we get married, I would definitely put her in charge of our finances.

So my good friend, the most prudent person concerning money should be in charge.

That's my advice

nedekid:

Nice submission.
If I may ask, how long have you been married?

Sunnycliff:

okoroemeka:
same with me,I consume money like old Bedford truck,my wife is always better with finance,she always bails me out in tough situations and I will not hesitate to put her charge but male ego will not allow me,it's better to your tents O isreal in matters concern money.

Accountability is a core part of marriage.

Forget all these dimwits shouting simp oh. No follow their mouth.

If you have a weakness and your other half is stronger there, rely on them.

Yusufisraelj:



All this talk from baseless insight and fake leadership. A show of force that's just a form of it but lacking meaning and substance in any direction to bring meaningful progress to any home.

What nonsense, the earlier you know that no two relationship is the same, the better.

Who ever does better, should lead in that place. When homes/relationships are run on meritocracy you find, peace, tranquility and undiluted love. It will be excellence all the way.

hurryup123:

sorry, maybe u wia hurt in the past by that gender

nomenclature:
You are very proud to say you are not prudent with money ,as old as you are ......this is just an excuse for simping
