[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]9:29, having a joint account doesn't automatically give you joint economic goals. That should be obvious. [/quote] Correct, but you need join economic goals whether your finances are separate or joint. If one of the main reasons your finances are separate is that you don't want your spouse to know what you're spending, I wonder if that couple does in fact agree on how much to save for the kids' college, when to target retirement, etc. The way we handle it is that we each get a certain amount to spend that the other spouse isn't privy to, but we set that amount after maxing out retirement, setting aside the agreed upon amount in the 529, etc.[/quote]
