[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It goes like this: if one couple is a spender and the other is a saver, splitting accounts to stop the fighting just papers over the problem. It's less efficient because if one tends to saving and the other tends to spending in an uncoordinated way, they won't build up nearly the wealth that they could. The better solution (in my opinion, because isn't that what anonymous message boards on the internet are for, unsolicited opinions lol?), is joint accounts, because it forces the couple to coordinate for the greater good of the household. The spender adjusts their attitude and reins it in, and the saver learns to have a little fun now and then.[/quote] Just out of curiosity.... In your household, are you the saver and DH the spender?
