Finances in double income couple [practical, not ideal]
This question is for married people who are managing finances or unmarried people who are sincerely looking for someone (in arranged marriage) and have a clear view on this. People in relationship who have discussed finances with future partner or are also welcome to vote.
Suggest other people to refrain as their perspective could be biased.
Feel welcome to comment.
Married here . Tried different things and settled on money in separate accounts. Now We have unspoken code where we know who will spend on what and we don’t need to discuss. Only some spends we discuss if it is not for us . Worked well for us giving enough freedom for both to spend for those personal purchases which we don’t want to discuss. Our investments are also separate. Joint account and common investment accounts one of you might get screwed if you drift apart especially if you have been recently married . Only house which we are currently living in did a joint purchase, all others are separate
