Joint checking account?

Original post by MrsD06

DH and I were discussing this and I told him I would ask here because he doesn't believe me that some people still have their own checking accounts after they get married. Am I crazy?

I'm not saying to only have separate accounts, but I was considering leaving my current one open just to have a little money for XMAS gifts, etc. that he doesn't know about.

He said that 'we are married and that a joint checking account is what married people do!' lol..I love him for his stubborness!!

We've been together for 10 years and have shared money and acted married for much of that time so I'm just having a difficult time wrapping my head around a new $ situation..not opposed to it, tho.

We have a joint & each have our own

We have a joint account which has all of our wedding gifts. We don't plan to touch that until we buy a house. We kept our separate accounts b/c it's easier that way. What's mine is his and vice versa, but technically everything is still separate.
