This would help me become a better partner and contribute more effectively to my wife and our shared financial goals.
But we also saw the value of having a joint account for shared expenses, especially because we decided to split financial responsibility 50/50.
We opened a joint bank account for shared expensesUpon moving in together, my wife and I first opened a joint checking and savings account for shared expenses.
Our joint account also gave us a space dedicated to shared long-term savings goals, such as a wedding and a house.
Separate from the joint account, I was responsible for setting up and managing my own budget, credit card, savings goals, and brokerage account.
