When you get married do you want your own separate bank account ?

i'm way too cynical for that, one always needs complete independence because you never know when an ally becomes an enemy.
imagine if they took your money and fled lmao

But that doesnt mean i won't contribute to bills and stuff. I just want to be incharge of my own earnings... nothing wrong with that is there?
No, there isn't anything wrong with it bc.. I guess it's up to you.- I understand we all prefer different things.

do you ever cut yourself on all that edge?
Separate and joint.
Separate for ourselves, joint for things that are shared between us.
But idk...it may not be that simple one day, who knows

Or what the sense of marriage?
Jk idk what I'm saying I'm still trying to figure it all out. I think that's what the Catholic Church says in the vows

Both, the joint account would be for the bills, holidays, food etc. basically everything that both effects us. We would also have individual accounts which wage/salary gets paided in and then anything after the deductions made to the joint then anything left is spend on what ever
@xobeauty hello my fellow carib 
and it depends on the pros and cons of both single and joint accounts
I've not looked into either but I just know of some basic stuff...I think
If you have your own account do you need to sign prenup?

Hi trini.
Good question. Can someone answer that?
joint household so for bills and standard costs
separate savings and spending accounts so my wife doesn't find out how much i spend on my vehicles and clients as well as how much i have hidden away for emergencies
i'm 20

Wouldn't give up my individual bank account but neither do I object to a joint account for household stuff.
I live with my boyfriend and we've a joint account, but still have separate individual accounts. Earnings go into the individual accounts and we each transfer a set amount into the joint account every month and use that to pay for rent / food / bills / shared stuff etc.
The rest stays in our individual accounts for us to do with as we please.
Edit: I'm 21.

I have no intention of ever getting married but if I did, I would have a joint account for, say, bills but definitely have a separate bank account too with most of my money in it. I'm not prepared to go through what my mum has gone through with my dad, regarding bank accounts and hard-earned money disappearing all the time, never to return 
Am 27 btw

If you entered the marriage with significant assets then there is an argument for a prenup, although I'm not sure how much UK courts actually take notice of them. I'm sure a law student would be able to clarify. But fundamentally, having a separate account will not stop one party in a divorce from having to pay a settlement to the other, no.

Or shared?
And why?... And disclose your age.

Child care is expensive bro.
I would want my own bank account rather than a separate one. I think i just prefer the idea of each party to the marriage keeping their property separate.
I am a law student who has specialised within divorce law so maybe my education has warped my views on the topic. I also agree in pre-nuptial agreements so maybe I am just selfish in the sense that I want to be able to walk away from a marriage with no less than what I walked in with.
I am 19, nearly 20
