That should be between spouses to decide, but it does make it awfully convenient to cover the bills and make household purchases, assuming you are both responsible with money.

I agree with lon. The joint account is nice in the aspect that there can be money for bills and such but I think it would be best if added for that purpose and the spouses can keep seperate ac****s for some fun money on the side if they want.

Been there, done that, not doing it again.

But to each his own.

There is no right way or wrong way. It's what works best for you.

Speaking about the joint vs separate accounts... my parents have separate, my husband and I have joint. Joint account just makes things easier for us. Mom and dad say it's easier for them to keep track if separate accounts. Knowing mom and dad as I do.... I agree with them! LOL

It's just what works for you. It really doesn't matter what works for me. My husband and I are not you and your spouse.

Agree, you and your spouse determine what would work best for both of you financially.
