Reply to comment by pendrekky in LPT: Maintain separate bank accounts when you get married by The_Stein244

That’s right. We’re a team and we do everything together. Money is just a tool. We have “fun money” that’s our own but everything we make goes through our budget and bank account. We’re not “partners”, we’re married. Business partners care about money first. Married people care about each other first.

How is putting money into a mutual pot for bills and such putting money first?

I think you know that’s not what I said. Not putting it into the same place first is not putting marriage first. Having personal bank accounts is not bad.

If personal account first, then shared, that’s putting money first.

If shared account first, then personal, that’s putting marriage first.
