right exactly. You just have to hope that you are saving somehow. Otherwise you're just paying more to support green energy (which is also okay, just be transparent about it)

Right that makes sense, BUT my combined bill is much higher than it used to be just through CMP. Maybe it's because all energy is higher now and it's just a coincidence?

Yes, that I agree with. I just don't like the notion of "gotta have your get out of town bag"

Really? What are the problems? This is meant to alleviate any arguments about frivolous purchases

That's fine, but how often do you buy things that you want that you partner would find frivolous? If you do, has it ever created an argument? This is simply a way to avoid that. By contributing a high amount like I suggested, it is still a situation where there is mostly one account. Just a little fun money to avoid the arguments.

That is 100% the wrong way to take this. It has nothing to do with wanting or being prepared to leave. It is specifically to have an account that you can spend any way you want. Mainly I'm talking about fun things that, in a joint bank account, your partner might argue is frivolous. This is a way to avoid a potential argument.

I grew up in Seacoast NH and now I live in Portland. Way more opportunities here and I love it. Obviously the 6% income tax sucked when it first hit, but you get used to it.

Yeah he should have killed the first two and then there was a third "Redbird" with the punchline "you can only kill two birds with Onestone!"
