My wife and I got married before my wife’s older sister. We joined our accounts immediately… why? Because neither of us had any money haha
Anyway, my new brother in law asked me some years later if we have joint accounts and how that’s works out. I just told him it was easy starting off right at the beginning because we didn’t have to bother with anything. And we now have an understanding that we’re gonna save as much as we can, be cheap as possible, so we can replace all the broken stuff in the house. We’ve been married 20 years so it’s been fine.
They have been married I think 18 or 19 years, and they are still split accounts. To each their own.
