Wife and I have joint accounts on everything. She even took my last name!
We merged everything into one account
We have totally separate finances & pay our share
I do all of the finances
I have no idea what happens to my paycheck
We just mooch of our rich faimily
We use a hybrid system involving allowances

Separate... I pay for pretty much everything and she writes me a cheque at the end of the month.

pet insurance?
Hybrid.
Family Account where all income goes, and all bills are paid out of.
Then each of us gets a monthly allowance, and we can spend that on anything we want.
that way, the amount I spend on lap dances, or trips with the boys isn't an issue.
she spends less than me, so once in a while, she'll buy herself a new computer or something.

100% seperate. It's something we agreed on years before we got serious enough to get married. It's outlined in great detail in the pre-nup too. Completely individual assets, debts, property, everything. If we should split for any reason I know she'll be fine, and I know I'll be fine and either of us not on the hook paying for someone who doesn't want the other around.

Pre-nup is a great idea. I know a lot of people who have them.

worst part is definitely when the dudes smacking it with his dick like that inside out anus owes his dick some money.
I know where you're coming from asking that, but I totally see the sense in it. It's very unromantic, but the reality is most marriages don't last these days. 4/10 first marriages fail.Originally posted by Cos

We didn't have to make that decision, because neither of us had anything of value before hand, but even if we did, I seriously doubt I would consider it myself.
Guess I'm just a romantic, lol.
Never. Ever. Wouldn't even consider it. (Wouldn't ever get married to begin with) My money's mine, I earn it, and a snowball will have a better chance in hell than a woman having any say whatsoever in how I spend my money. I don't care how good the pussy is.
And I'm 36 so if you think I'll change, think again.
Completely merged since we got engaged (2001). Wouldn't have it any other way.
- money goes to investments, savings, and committed expenses first, which I control (her investments also)
- we discuss and save for major purchases first
- and bottom line, open and honest about all money we spend even if it will cause a short argument.
When I was a kid, I heard too much of "Don't tell your mom/dad I bought this" - was the reason my parents nearly split. So complete transparency - she can see all of my investment accounts, and I can see all of hers. No hidden money or assets - unlike my parents.
Hybrid-merged system...
We both have our separate accounts, no joint account. We just pay the bills as they come along from whomever's account is appropriate at the time.
We view all the money we make as "the family's" money and it all goes towards the family, more or less, but I will never do a joint account.
I think people who've known each other since they were kids (let's say mid-teens) and who've been together for a decade before they even get married, are much more likely to merge their money. And whilst those people probably are very very content to have everything in one bank account in their marriage, I'd bet these same people wouldn't do it that way if they were to marry again - at least, not right away.
Our money is fully merged. We don't even think or care about who makes what. We make money, we spend money. Simple as that. Easy come, easy go.
2 TPLO's and a bunch of other stuff. This free dog has cost literally $17,423 in the past 6 years. That's everything, food toys, vet etc.. but I have to admit, dropping $3k per rear leg had me wishing we'd had pet insurance.Originally posted by revelations

Merged, with many accounts but they all are joint or she has passwords etc.
There is no right/wrong answer though. If one person is good with money and one is terrible, then a merge with the shitty person having only an allowance account makes sense. If neither partner buys a lot of stupid crap then fully joint is good.
If my wife had a designer purse habit and didn't want to ask my opinion every time she bought one, then we'd probably move to a separate allowance account for play money. I'd also probably not merge everything if one person made a ton more than another (ie, worker and student)
But with fully joint there's no "well she spent X this month so I get to spend X" mentality. It's just a pool of money that one or the other may or may not draw from. If you can't deal with that then keep a separate account for each person and a joint middle account for all the expenses.
Merged.
Too much of a PITA having everything divided into a pile of little accounts and then trying to determine which purchases come out of where.
I would only consider it if my wife was materialistic and couldn't control herself when shopping. That said, I would probably then reconsider my wife rather than how the finances were to be dispersed.

Boy just the concept, sheer thought of having to answer to anyone financially, is so fucked to me and makes my blood boil. How do you guys do it? Am I so wrong to feel the way i do? I've never been married/burned by a woman, it just seems so wrong, I just don't get it.
Separate accounts with a joint chequing account.
