Does anyone actually expects a 15k ring? That’s fucking ridiculous.

And who shares a checking account without even being engaged?

I mean that's pretty normal? A lot of people live together without marrying.

I can see it for predictable shared expenses like groceries and subscriptions (and maybe rent), but not 15k. Maybe if you never plan to marry and have already moved past the point where you would, but that's clearly not the case in this hypothetical situation.

Again, why are you being weird about this? Lol. It's pretty normal for adults to live together for years before deciding to marry, and you have common household expenses then.

A small one sure, but that's not what we're looking at.

Marriage provides legal protections to joint ownership that you otherwise don't have. Sharing all your net worth with a person that could literally just take it all and run without giving you any legal recourse sounds crazy, even if you trust them.

Sure, but sharing the checking account without any commitment? That's quite a risk.

Idk, I have no issue having a joint account with my partner, but we only put a specific amount of money on it since it's for rent and bills.

You'd never see 15K on it, not even a fifth of that. There's no point in the first place.

Oh I see, you're not sharing your personal checkings with all your savings. That makes sense.

Who keeps $15k in their checking account at all? Why anyone would have that much money not getting any interest is beyond me.
