Thoughts on joint bank accounts?

I'm not one of those "all women are whores" /r9k/ morons, but I will never get a joint bank account. Just to risky, you might love and trust eachother right now, but who knows what's in the future. I'd rather play it safe.

If you don't trust her enough to share one with her, you don't trust her enough to be in a long term relationship. If you're in a short term one than that thought should never cross your mind.

you must be broke

My girlfriend and I have a joint credit card (She is the primary account holder) and it is very convenient for joint purchases like groceries, food, etc.

We are thinking of a joint bank account to save for trips. I don't think we will ever 100% merge finances though- We both like keeping our accounts separate. Ymmv but don't be stupid.

You must be dating a dumb whore who has never had a job in their life or lived alone because that's what men are for.

your type of guy to get married to a 21yr old when your 45 and lose half your net worth after a year of marriage when the bitch divorces your ass

If you're getting married, you shouldn't anticipate divorce. If you anticipate divorce there's no point in getting married in the first place. Which is just like I was saying, if you anticipate her squandering your finances and her stealing all your money, then you shouldn't be in a long term relationship with said person in the first place. And no, I shouldn't be scared of a woman I'm in a long term relationship squandering all my money, because as I said, if she's not a bimbo, she'll have a basic understanding of finance and budgeting.

Bad idea

1. Why not just have 2 accounts and even if the other account is empty, you can write a check to have equal access to the same funds

2. The only reasons to ever get married are so that your spouse doesn't have to testify against you in court, or for lower tax. If you make enough money to where the tax implications from marriage are significant, you probably don't need that extra tax money

Don't get cucked by a woman.
