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

Separate because in Islam a woman can keep her money, her husband is the breadwinner and has to spend on the family.
What would be the point of a separate account? You're married what's yours is hers and visa versa

No need. My wifey will be 110% on board. Indeed, she'll be relieved that someone with my economic pedigree, not to mention discipline/reliability, is there and has the inclination/ability to keep family affairs and finances on lock-down :ninja:


Without having to consult an advisor at the bank
when we get married we'll have a shared one but our own seperate ones as well for like birthday and christmas reasons etc

Both. A joint account for bills and food and other such costs, but individual accounts for buying things just for ourselves.
I'm 21, and this is the plan for when we live together in a few months.


We aren't married, or even engaged, but i live with my partner since August 2015. I'm 21, my girlfriend 21, and this is what we do

Calculate bills and rent over a year, divide it by 12, put in 50% of that monthly allowance each in a joint account in a standing order once per month.

Personal account for ourselves, but we often share it too. If anything was to happen though, we aren't tied into any shared account.

7 months, works perfectl thus far. You need a degree of privacy (we could never buy eachother presents as if someone saw the transactions they'd find out. Also, I save about £500 a month and she saves £300, so we save in our own accounts.)

lol thanks


Wanna get to know each other?
I'm 19 and currently working earning well thankfully.

I would prefer to share the account especially once we've got a house however if she doesn't want to I'd still give her access to my account because why wouldn't you trust the person your getting married to and hopefully spending the rest of your life with,

I mean I currently have an account in my name but let my mum look after my money so i invest in the correct places.

All about the individual and how much you trust them.

Fam,you're a wannabe. Thought you was telling pwople you studied a PhD Chem course,how did you end up being 22 Hussain. Ain't you into your late 20s now. Beg


Think you have the wrong person, check my posts in Investment Banking Careers where I was worried being 22 was too old.

PhD Chem? If I was going to lie about a qualification it would be something worthwhile (Physics/Engineering/Med) not something as pathetic as Chem :smile:.

Made this account in September to ask about an MSc, which I have since received a place in, it's not a "fake" account.
