Will you save money to the same account with your partner？

Dear friend,

Answer can be YES or NO. It always depend on the female partner. If she is with genuine love and relation is kool with the couple then joint account is NOT a problem and it can be risky for joint account with a female partner who maintains multiple boyfriends/polygamous. Hope this helps you

Well I actually brought that idea up to my girlfriend one day because I'm not that good at saving money and I figured that I opened a separate account with her that we could both just put in a little bit every now and then. I trust her completely and I think it would help us get something saved for the future.

I think it's a very good idea. By making a sharing acount, we can really learn how to share each other.

I think it depends on the couple in question. My husband is horrible with money, so we have separate accounts. He pays some bills, I pay the others. We both split up things like groceries. One week he will pay out of his money, the next week I will. And we both have our own personal budgets that we can spend on ourselves every month after everything has been paid that comes with running a house that has four kids. If both parties in the relationship are good with finances, I see no problem in sharing a bank account. If they get a divorce for one reason or another, they will have to split up their assets anyway, unless they have a prenuptual agreement, which I totally support. My husband and I have one. If anything should happen to our marriage, he is not allowed to touch the house (since I had it when we met) or my inheritance from my grandmother (which I haven't gotten yet since she is very much alive and am in no hurry to get. I hope I never have to see a penny of that money.) Also, my parents have put their land (300 acres) into my name so that my cousins won't come in with guns blazing if something happens to them. The land is mine and will be until the day I give it to my children. It is set up in a trust that says it cannot be sold to anyone outside of the family, and that it cannot be developed for any reaso except to put a new barn on it or something else that would benefit the farm...no houses. He also isn't allowed to touch that. I have been divorced before, and my ex-husband and I had a prenup. He tried to break through it, but it didn't work for him. I let him have the car, and that was basically it. He kept his own posessions. We split up the money, but the children and the land and the house stayed with me. I bought it, I kept it. Anyway, enough of my rambling.

money wise? i think you should not joint account with your partner even you been together for long, you never know what will happen in the future but if you really want to have joint account better have the "and" type of account than the "and/or"...

Maybe if you're not trusting your partner so much yet, opening another account is always an option. You can share one account but you can divide the money that you can put on your account together and then save some money that you can put on your own account. It's not bad at all even if she/he knew it, perhaps you also have some personal things to buy for your self..

dear joandevil, under no circumstances open an account with anyone! i speak from experience and i am 55 years old.in this day and age a woman has to realize that men are looking for women who are independant both financially and mentally.its not like the old days when men were assumed to take care of the woman and finances.do you ever watch suzie orman?and in my lifes experience every time i did trust my husband i got the raw end of the deal. doesn't it make more sense for seperate accounts and to split bills?i found that this works because you are still in control of your own account plus you are paying bills plus you don't have to worry about the other person taking money out that you don't know about.love and trust does not have anything to do with it, it is called survival!no matter how much in love you are at the time and no matter how much you think you know this person, it is always safer to safeguard yourself.you never know what will happen!

I would rather have a separate personal account from my partner.that way,things wouldn't be so messy when we decided to split.I will only have a joint account when I get married.I would have a joint account with my future husband.this money is for our family's needs.the personal account is for my personal needs.

I don't think it is a good idea. Haha! I mean if he was my husband, yes why not. But if we are just like girlfriend/boyfriend..I don't think it is necessary. It will just create some issues. And it might ruin our relationship. But if we have future plans and I am very sure that he is the one and it will work, yes i will.

My boyfriend is much more trusting. He says if we ever get married that he will give me his money and he can have an allowance lol. So I think we would have one joint account and I would have my own too.
