[Blown_SC]

Whipped like the family pig eh?

[Maraxus]

well here is a little info. She is better at handling money, she makes a little more than I do. Plus shes an Accountant so at least she knows how to handle money....

[Monkeytown]

You're a brave soul Bro. I wouldn't do it til I was married.

[Maraxus]

Actually naw, shes never brought it up. I have been the one considering it. I wanted to get some feedback from the married guys/girls puto.

[Maraxus]

Weve been living together for 3 years, and we have just recently become engaged. We have an incredibly trusting relationship.

LOL... She sound like she would know more about it than you, so I don't see why not... but I'm not married (thankfully), so I'll bump this for your cause lol

[DevilsDeity]

get one , but also keep a seperate one , cause you never know!

[Maraxus]

Yeah thats what I was planning on doing. I just want to get a joint because we already consolidate all of our bills. So I figure why the hell not.

I wouldn't,

I'm getting married in May and I am planning on keeping my own account.

We will just split up the bills, with me paying the majority, and her having a couple to be responsible for.

Sounds like you answered you own question Bro.

I thought I saw on another thread where you were downing marriage? Must have been someone else. I got engaged over the holidays. Congrats Bro and good luck!

Congrats to you bro, naw I dont knock on Marriage

[justincredible]

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you are bro. If you trust her, which I assume you do or you probably wouldn't even be considering it, then go for it. All you need to do is keep one eye on it. My girl's the same way, she's so good with managing funds that I actually was the one who asked to do it. I just keep an eye on it, and in the past year the only time I raised an eyebrow was over the holiday, but it turned out to be $$$ spent on presents for me.

Yeah bro, thats what im planning on doing.

[Pale Horse]

NO ! never.......................NEVER!

[OGPackin]

Id wiat till after your married bro. Speaking from experience anything can happen till the rings on her finger, and even then **** can happen. But my advice would be to wait till after your married to get joint accounts...

[jc3]

I have no problem with my wife handling our finances. Once in a while I ask to see the register just to see where we are and how many hidden trips to payless are there....hahahahahah..... Seriously though, if u love and trust this woman and she is better, why not? Only gonna take stress away from you and give you more time to do what you will......JC

[Bigen12]

NO ! never.......................NEVER!

Maybe 1victor and I are jaded, but after being married once, and having a joint account, and seeing my money constantly being wasted, I'll never do it again.

[Pale Horse]

Money is the #1 issue, behind sex of course. Take from the "expert". Never share this. Separate finances, my parents do it and it works. DUDE........... it will become HER money not our money. How you gonna skim for gear?

[OGPackin]

I can honestly say that once i gave my xwife a credit/debit card in her name i never was able to balance my check book again...hahaha bitch!

Remember, I am the master skimmer. Plus I know the probs youre having so I understand where you are coming from beeyotch.

[needmorestrength]

get one , but also keep a seperate one , cause you never know!

exactly! Do that and I say go ahead, specially after being together 3 years you obviously trust each other

[maxex]

Keep your money as your own untill you get married. Having your own bank account is a valuable thing that is stripped from ya when you get married. Anything can happen between now and then, enjoy your own money while its your own.

[Pale Horse]

Okay don't listen to the guys with practical experience. C'Mon Big he won't listen.....let's take our ball and play somewhere else!

[Pale Horse]

[Bigen12]

Yep, he will be her Bitch, she'll be bossing him around....

She'll be like...
"Get your lazy ass up and clean the house, and make my dinner, or no money for gear!!!"

[DevilsDeity]

what fairy tale you living in ?

any woman that makes more than a man wont share

you even said it , It will be HERS and not ours.

whats hers is hers and whats yours is hers.



sugar momma, you got a better chance of finding a unicorn

[drdeath613]

lol think of it this way if she walks out so does your money and theres notthing u can do about it

[worldtraveln]

Dude if she makes more than you I would do it. Seems like the benefits out weigh the risk to me.

[decadbal]

no, hit her on the nose with a paper then say NO again

[Juggernaut]

Go ahead and get a joint account (but don't let the cops find out, haha) BUT keep a seperate one for yourself. Have your paycheck, if it's an auto deposit, deposited into your account then transfer however much you want to to the joint account each paycheck. Trust me, after 18 years of marriage, you really need to keep one of your own.

[MrMondodondo]

Married long time...........Separate accounts keeps us the happiest.

[Commando_Barbi]

Hmmmmm From the DAY I got married, our account was joint. One house, joint bills and financial responsibiities. Bills came in and I paid them ... after the bills if he wanted money for cars crap or whatever, he told me and if the necessities were covered, he took what he needed...and vice versa. For a long time I did make more than he did and for a while on several occasions, I was the sole breadwinner. IT was always OUR money. When we divorced, he had to relocate from overseas and completely start over. Took what he wanted from the house, a small amount of cash (I had the kids and the bills so he didn't take a lot) and off he went.

Joint accounts can be managed just fine. The key is trust. If you trust her, create a joint household account and agree to each keep separate accounts as well. Establish what percentage goes into the joint and what stays in the individual accounts. The reason I encourage individual accounts is because if you go out and make a purchase on the joint account without coordinating with her....or vice versa...you can run into over draft issues. Also, if you want to suprise her with a gift...hard to do if she's balancing the check book.

Good luck ..

I’m glad u and deca r finally tying a nut........which one is the pitcher............

[Pale Horse]

Deca is the pitcher!

[Benches505]

I would not do it since there is really no need to ever have a joint account. Designate who pays which bills and keep it all seperate.
