The Official Status Update Thread: Part 166 - That's my purse! I don't know you!

[mom45]

we have OUR checking account and MY checking account. He has no idea how much is in either account

This would make my husband crazy. We are actually on each others accounts, but I don't think he has ever looked in my checkbook and I know he has never written a check out of my account. I write out of his to pay bills or if I am shopping and know it is going to be more than I have in mine to spend.

His is the account that most of the income goes into so I let him share with me.

You do. And it is a good soul.

Awwwe, geez. This isn't gonna turn into one of those all praise CM threads is it?

"No"

This works for us too! We were together for so long before we actually got married, that it has always been this way. Before getting married, we both paid certain bills each month and that worked well.



We balance his...nobody tries to balance mine, but I do check it out in my register if my online balance seems much lower than I remember my register showing. Some of those online transfers to paypal don't get recorded right away!

Same here, she has access to my account for such things.
Our anniversary was Saturday.

We are separate accounts but we can move funds electronically between them.
I have a 3rd account for on line use. We keep just enough in it so the lights stay on. I move funds when we use it.

He has no access to my account for a multitude of reasons. I pay bills out of each account, he has spending money, so he's happy

We can transfer, but usually I just transfer from his to pay my credit card. I pay part of it for my hobby stuff and such and it is easier to transfer than enclose two checks and risk one getting left in the envelope and not being applied to the bill. I pay it off every month so we don't pay interest. They pay cash back so it pays to use it and just pay it all with one check. The credit card company automatically doubles the manufacturer warranty on stuff I buy so we used it for the new appliances and any TV's or electronics we buy. I've never had to use it yet so I don't know how well that works, but i figure it is worth a shot to do it just in case.
