      marriage is the number one cause of divorce. There is no need for two people to marry as it does not provide any extra benefit than just dating. It only complicates the money issues.

    My husband and I combined our bank accounts after 10 years of marriage. I regret not doing it sooner because we work great as a team. I create our budget each paycheck and text it to my husband. We’re both big spenders but have goals we want to accomplish so we’ve been recently saving like crazy.
    I learned nothing from this video.

    I would do it the exact opposite way. Have each your own checking and savings account (with current interest rates you don’t need a savings account but whatever). And put a set amount per month to the one shared account where you pay everything from that you do both like rent/mortgage, groceries, investments, new dishwasher, date nights etc. If you have extra money in the shared account you can either share it at the end of the year or invest more. If you’re short in that account you know you’ll have to increase the monthly input.

    • @jurrenkroon
      @jurrenkroon 4 года назад +7

      If you both make a very different amount per month, I would set the monthly amount to ratio. So for example you both put 80% of your income in the shared account.
