I swear I learn some things here in threads that I never knew were so common.
For those of you that are married, do you have a main joint account or do you just keep separate accounts? If you have separate accounts, what is the purpose of it?
My wife and I have had a joint account ever since we got married (and actually started before once we knew we were getting married). Our paychecks go into it and our mortgage/bills/credit cards get paid by it. I don't even understand the purpose of separate accounts unless I was really trying to hide money (which is pretty common here, I suppose).
I keep some cash on the side for things like going to a casino every once in a while or picking up a gift for her or whatever but even that isn't some huge secret (nor is it some significant amount).
My paycheck is our paycheck. Her paycheck is our paycheck. Bills are our bills. I guess I don't understand the concept of married with separate finances but another thread seems to show that it's a common thing? Maybe I'm lucky my wife doesn't just go spending money like crazy? I mean, when I've gotten a check or something from friends for whatever reason, I think I've always seen joint names on it and just assumed virtually all married couples just have one main account they use and deposit into.
