[quote=Anonymous]I think the shopping/spending PPs are a common reason - they like to buy without their spouses knowing what they spend. The thought of financial transparency with their spouse would change their lifestyle. I think the same thing can happen with joint account where one person does all the finances and the other is clueless. There will always be different viewpoints and philosophies on what marriage means to people in terms of what they share. Some people very much have an 'us' mentality and others have a 'me and him/her' mentality. I have seen couples where one gets upset if the other looks at or uses 'their' phone for example. Some people marry but maintain large degrees of separation in their life, not only finances but also keep friends separate and vacation separately. I think separate account with joint access is quite different than separate accounts that the spouse can't access - the is definitely a my money your money household. [/quote]
