Lets say you have a personal account and a joint account.
joint account is for the bills and everyday stuff.
do you feel you need to tell them every time you spend money or what you bought?
do you make them tell you the who what wheres and whys?
as long as the bills are paid ..does it really matter as long as the cops aint coming to your house?

the relationship is the crawling....the marriage is walking...having a successful marriage is the marathon you are building for -
We have a household budget and an allowance of sorts that we get as paper every month.
Neither one of us checks eachother about what we do with the paper. As long as the bills paid. -
-
We have had a joint account for 15 years...if either of us wants to spend more than 200 we talk about it..never had any problems
-
Nah, no one has to check in with each other for spending money, unless its a signifacant purchase.
-
Na no need to tell my girl what I spend my money on. Same with her. But if we're building towards something and I notice her doing a lot of reckless spending, I'll bring it up.

So then why did you marry her, if you don't trust her with something as trivial as a joint account for bills? You trust her with cooking your food, and raising your kids, but not with bill money? Interesting. -
Nope, we don't share, but she's able to look whenever she feel. We don't even have a joint account. I take care of all the bills, investments, savings and things of that nature. I tell her what I need per month, and she trusts me to make sure its in the right places. Should she want to see anything, she has all the access such as passwords and account info. She's a authorized user on all my credit cards and vice versa. Been doin it this way the better part of a decade. Well oiled machine B.

The answers to these questions are specific to each person's relationship. Yes, yes, and yes are my answers. I would tell her what's going on as a FYI and a topic of conversation, and would ask her the same, for the same reason.
The bills being paid is an automatic thing, no one who knows what they're doing is stressing over paying bills. And once we became married, I would look at us as one entity and act accordingly. -
We have a joint account for bills/household stuff, a joint savings account and then our own personal checking accounts for us to buy our own ? with. Being that we're married she's eventually going to see what I'm spending my money on because I'm not buying ? and hiding it somewhere else and vice versa. She don't need to ask me to buy ? with her own money and neither do I with my own but it ain't like we can hide the purchases because them ? is coming to the house anyway.

I didn't marry anyone and am generally against the idea of marriage. It's very few benefits to it.

Even if I was married I wouldn't have a joint account.
Doesn't work for me. -
We have a joint account for bills. But besides bills we don't worry about what the other person does with their money
-
When I was young and foolish I had a joint account with this ? but when I found out she was cheating I emptied it and disappeared on the ? . It was the greatest decision I ever made
No I don't see the logic in telling your wife/girlfriend about everything you buy -
With my ex wife, we did have a joint account. But I also had an account she never knew about it
-
A little different, cuz we're married.
We have a Bills Account and several other joint accounts - vacation, savings etc ...
We also have our respective personal accounts.
As far as I am concerned, she could make it rain off the tallest building in Midtown with her personal money.
To me, that's the whole idea behind personal accounts
It's all about trust ... -
