For those who dont have joint account with FH as of yet, Do you plan to get a joint savings account with your significant other?

well we already have a joint checking account but we also have our own separate accounts as well. We've also opened up an ING account to save for the wedding and for a house.

FH and I have seperate ING accounts that we are saving for the wedding and house. But after our engagement party we are going to open joint checking/savings for any gifts we receive.

We have a joint savings and checking account that we put money into together to use for the wedding if individually we can't keep up with the vendor payments (haven't needed to touch it yet though yeayy, so it's growing). After the wedding, we'll definitely keep our joint account, and we already spoke about contributing a certain percentage from each of our paychecks into that account to save and pay bills, and then the rest we put into our individual accounts to do what we want with it. I feel that having individual accounts is very important. I don't want to feel guilty about spending 300 dollars on a bag, and then having to hear about it from the husband lol. Being individually financially stable is very important to me.

we each have our own savings & checking accounts, but have recently opened a joint checking account to pay for wedding-related bills. Once we get married, we'll be solely using our joint account, but I plan to keep my separate savings account to buy christmas/anniversary/birthday gifts for him.

Right now we both have seperate saving/checking accounts and a joint savings/ checking. This will stay the same after the wedding. We will do the bils out of joint and still have our own! We use the joint checking a lot for unexpected purchases too. Both of our individual accounts are attached to it.

We don't live together yet but we have a joint savings and seperate checking accounts. We will keep it that way after the wedding.

We have seperate accounts and it will stay that way. FH isnt the best with his finances so I take care of all of the bills. I have access to his accounts so any bills that he has to pay I pay directly from his account. I also have a sav account that he doesnt know about. Financial independance is very important to me also

We have separate personal accounts and a joint account (for the mortgage and joint bills.) Definitely keep an account for yourself so you have control of what is yours. You don't want to see money disappear without accountability as to who spent it. Money problems can lead to problems...

We actually started an account together after only 6 months of going out and put $100 a week each. So after 2 years we have a pretty nice savings for the wedding together.
After we get married we will join the rest of our money.
