Is everyone planning to have a joint account....we currently have separate accounts. I like it this way beacuse if i want to buy a pair $200 shoes he can't say anything, I hate to explain why

Re: Joint accounts

Right now we have our own checking and a joint savings. We haven't talked about what will happen after we're married, but i'm sure we'll combine it and have just one.

fh and i have our own accounts but we will open one together, right before we get married we will need the bank account with both our names on it for the checks we get at our wedding

We have our own checking accounts but we share a savings. We both put a min of $XXX each into our savings every week. We have a commitment to save that money.

We pay our own bills but we live with our parents rent free so we have very few bills. We pretty much save everything nickle.

You should open up a joint account. You will be getting checks made payable to both of you and will need an account to deposit them in to. I work for a bank and newly married couples don't realize that they need both of their names on an account to deposit checks written to both of them.

I completely forgot about that....in that case we will have a joint savings
