Stegomiah: Setting for both i.e avin ur personal acct and a joint one for family expenses seems 2 b wat majority av agreed on so far, but i tink one account will suffer dan d oda, most likely 2b d joint one. cos each individual will b afta enriching his/her own personal acct.that assumption is quite vague don't you think ? How could it be that i am fighting for the male folks when I have never advocated that only the man will have unfetterd access to the account. The reason why most people find my position strange is because the anomally as tarried so long enough as to usurp and take over the position of the "nomally". we therefore have a hard job now trying to make people see things from the ideal perspective. I know you are smart and you can get my drift. About my girl, I'll try to see how yielding she can be otherwise , I will not allow a woman dictate to me how to run our home especially when it comes to forging a common front. What kind of example would we be laying for our kids when we parents can not reconcile our financial differences and work together. Little wonder some siblings kill each other over will and inheritance. We will train our kids by action and not by cheap words. If we can't do that then why marry ? I don't carry the balls for nothing, I do cos I am the leader of the home. If she can't trust my judgement then, I'll find me a woman who can. simples. 1 Like |

biolabee: I take a non gender biased stand on the issue.If you both agree to it and all is peachy, fine do what works for your home. Where I would be slightly wary is if you INSIST and then turn it into a very big issue. I honestly do not want ti monitor my husbands every toro kobo cos I know he is responsible with money.Better than me sef.He is not a child.He managed well before we got married and I know we have a vision and where we are going.So why should I be bothered if he decides to give 200 pounds to that old school friend who they used to soak Garri together in Ibadan.He will tell me and I for one will never discourage him cos he is an adult. I have friends who have said they want to budget all hubby spends to the last kobo.Because of that they choose the most expensive everything.Their reasoning is they will see where money for sina (runs ie cheating )will surface from. I dont like control f.reaks. |

Madam dami Excellent post as usual No one likes control fr.eak but if women have always been angling to control their men's resources why must it be strange when the man wants to do same Again I say Men: my money; our money Women: my money; MY MONEY @guitar I will need it Hwoever this is a practical advice and a lot of people I know don't do joint Only few of my friends do it If I make a bad financial decision with my earnings, will my spouse suffer Yes of course.. Opportunity cost is also a loss THE ISSUE IS NOT ABOUT BANK ACCOUNTS AND STRUCTURE BUT STRICTLY ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY BETWEEN COUPLES ISH damiso: 1 Like |

Some of you guys like guitar boy are crying over spilled milk The train has left that station tey tey If you read through this whole thread ,nearly every lady that spoke personally either were not doing joint accounts at all,only did joint projects or had a joint account but their own private account also . Not a single woman has told us all her salary and earnings go into a joint account. So as you can see,no woman is willing in this day and age to put all her money in a pot with her man Doesn't mean we don't love our men We just want to have some Independence and that is perfectly in line Datz all So even if you find a wife that will do exclusive joint account with you,she will eventually open an account of her own on the side ( with or without your knowledge) So while you go hunting for a joint account bride remember you may find one but know that the women are always 2 steps ahead of y'all 1 Like |

Personally, I think it is better if a couple operate different accounts for the following reasons: 1. It will check the excesses of one or both of the partners 2. At least one of the partners cannot run away with all their money  3. If one partner becomes bankrupt, the other partner's goldmine remain safe from the bank. 4. Nobody has to monitor too closely what the other partner is doing with every withdrawal 5. And finally, if the husband dies intestate and the family descends on his properties, the wife's money is safe from their reach. 1 Like |

Its all based on trust and togetherness. While think of what if the marriage breaks?are you planning for that already? In my home we don't have a joint account in our name but we operate a joint account in our spendings and savings. It all depends on what works for your marriage. It's a question not of how much you trust your spouse, but how much you trust yourself. When you know that you are very likely to betray the trust your spouse has in you, you of course expect your spouse to do the same. If you choose to trust your spouse with your money, except you both lied to yourselves while dating, your spouse will in all probability keep your trust. |
