My husband and I have separate but linked main checking/savings accounts. Basically, the same as a joint account, we have access to one another’s accounts, they are just individual. We each have our own separate savings accounts as well simply because we never closed them when we married. We have one another’s account info as a precaution should one of us become incapacitated or simply need access. My husband is in the military and primary wage earner, often deployed or on travel so joint access is necessary. When we married we simply joined accounts as neither of us wanted to change financial info, direct deposit, etc. We both contribute to the finances, have an ongoing spreadsheet for monthly bills. Bills are usually paid online through my husbands account. Who physically performs the payment depends on wether or not he’s home. We discuss any unusual spending that comes up (birthdays/holidays) and decide on vacation spending together. Kind of a hybrid of joint-individual accounts which works well for us. I would agree the most important part of financial health is communication.

I love your website, and wish this sort of information would have been here when I was a young married couple. 30 years later, and a widow, I have forwarded this website to my two adult children in hopes that they can glean some good advice. thanks for all you do.
