[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother was married for 22 years. Their accounts were all joint. He took care of everything. She had, and still doesn't, have any clue how to budget, set aside for retirement or savings. She had no part in the money management process throughout their entire marriage. I don't ever want to be that way. There. That's why we have yours/mine/ours accounts.[/quote] I'm someone who posted earlier who is on the extreme and has had a joint account since we were dating and properties owned.... However, I do NOT think that the status of your bank account determines if you are "all in" or not. My mom was a SAH and they had joint accounts. Apparantly my dad was not "all in", as he traded her in for a younger, perkier model. They divorced despite having joint bank accounts. A joint bank account is not a litmus test to predict a successful marriage.[/quote]
