You will learn the hard way. I once had this mentality and later realized I was a fool when the daughter of Jezebel I called my girlfriend disappeared with my all my life savings. Latest news say the man she eloped to abroad with is now in prison and she is implicated in the whole thing too. If you marry a good woman which I believe doesn't exist anymore, make her signatory to your bank account but give her a limit. A man that trusts a woman except his mother and sisters has already dug his grave.

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.

It takes one daddy G.O with a good tongue, a sweet fvckboy or a bad mother inlaw and you're done for.

I desperately don't want to believe a man can sink so low.

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

Lawrry:
What works for A May not work for B.
Every individual knows his/her partner better, than anyone.
Some were saying they are afraid of women etc, that they can't trust a woman, o.k, but do you eat her food? I am happy to tell you than she can kill you at anytime if you eat her food.
For me, since two years of marriage, we put the whole money together, and I'll give you( my wife)a simple instruction, "don't come to me to request for anything, you know where the money is.
I have peace like a river always, when there is no soup, food etc, she doesn't ask me, she knows where the money is, infact, infact when we want to execute projects, she does the transfer.
In fact,when I want to spend some big amount, she will be the one preaching to me to exercise patient because the money may not be enough before another one comes in, may be I should wait for some funds we are expecting to come in.
When she's buying something she tells me and when I am buying, I tell her.
Just understand and practice what works for your home.
For me o, we run things together.

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

Words on a marble. Most women aren't sensitive with spendings though, reason most men don't go with their wives to shopping malls often bc they know what exactly they will do, lol

Let me share little story here:
A cousin of mine was brainwashed by cone men who obliged her to bring all her money so she can get fortune. She actually gave them all the whole money she had and even started looking for extra money to give them. Now imagine she was in charge of a joint account if the family money won't vaporise. Yes, most women are easy to deceive to obtain money from, be it in the church, or by cone men, though not all.

Yass. It's fun.

But you said that your girlfriend is more prudent and will be in charge of finances when you people get married. Isn't that what you said? I'm telling you that I did the same with my exgirlfriend whom I stupidly called fiancee and the result was catastrophic. Just like you want to marry your girlfriend, I was already seeing the daughter of Jezebel as my wife and was planning future with her. Thanks for your sympathy though, God blessed me with immeasurable success after that ordeal but I will never forget the lesson I learnt from it.

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

Kobicove:


I hope you know that it's much easier to manipulate women...

The day one of the these end time pastors gets into your wife's head she will donate the wholle family savings to him

FullBlastLight:



Guy, u're much too negative in ur mentality abt women!

How on earth cld u liken women, as in, pple's wives, to assassins? Huh?

Meaning all wives nurture d thought of murdering their own husbies someday?

Dis mindset is not only warped, bt also flagrantly demonic!

I really hope u won't be an emotional bully already!

There is no clear cut formula for a happy marriage.

Like my coconut headed friend Pocohantas would say, Honesty and the willingness to make it work is what is required.

My girl makes better financial plans and decisions. She's very prudent.

It would be foolish for me to be in charge of our finances. That's a disaster for our future family.

I'm just being honest
