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

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

Never

Men lead
Women follow

Marriage isn't a partnership, the man is the dominant gender and the woman is the submissive gender. The man's job is to protect, provide and give parental investment


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.

This is relative.

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.

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 grin


Brilliantly said, I love your deposition. It makes absolute sense.

Yes. You can have a joint account for running the domestic activities of the house with stipulated amount put into it every month by the two of you. Also, you two will have your personal accounts for your personal things. It's been working for me for years. It may not work for you but don't let this cause any issue in your marriage. Communication is key

Just avoid anything that will bring unnecessary problem in your marriage.

Having joint account will definitely lead to problems cos when you deposit 2m and you wife has 150k in the account but makes a withdrawal of 800k my brother the kind para way you go para eh!

Better operate separate account to avoid stories that touch.

A certain percentage of your income should go in there. And no one should withdraw without the others consent

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
