[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We keep nothing jointly, and it has helped our marriage. I'm the primary breadwinner, so it keeps me sane to know what I have to cover every month and exactly how much money I have to cover it with. I have absolutely no clue how much money my husband has in his savings, and he has no clue about mine. We each pay for what we pay for and don't discuss it further. [/quote] So what happens when you get to retirement? Are you confident that he's saving adequately there? What about college, or if you need a new roof or something? [/quote] I would worry about this, too. I would be comfortable with separate accounts but still expect to know how much he has. If one spouse were to suddenly die with a lot of hidden debt, the survivor would still be on the hook. Creditors don't care that you have separate accounts if you are married.[/quote]
