Trolls aside, married peeps do you operate joint bank accounts? What % of your income? If high, is it an acceptable risk?

I’m curious to know if there are married peeps here who operate joint bank accounts with their spouses.

Yes we have joint account but as a man of the house i control it.Then i have my own private account too…mbirrionaire…

Ya expenses

Hio ni kukaliwa chapo

We have Kids A/C, my hubby has his personal A/C and I have mine too. Then we have two joint A/Cs; One for savings, and the other one joint fixed. Then for business joint too. But we normally sit and discuss,. As a result we find best way to manage them. We do team work.
It depends with each couple, how deep your trust and friendship can go.

Yes two joint accounts, one is a registered company account for joint ventures, 2nd one for expenses and a bit of savings, still have my individual accounts for my main hustles though.

Teach them please…

Haha all the secret beta males wametoka from their hiding holes.Ati joint account kikikiki

A better thread on the ishu. Because TBH money matters can kill a marriage.

For the bills only, ni muhimu sana, zinaanguka zote end month by direct debit…hizo expenses zingine ni make up as we go along kama entertainment, shopping, investment etc from our individual accounts.

BETA MALES problem s can’t relate

Sounds like you have found the perfect balance. Do you know how much he earns and/or vice versa?

Money is responsible for killing something in the region of 60% of all marriages.

Yap. It is on the same pedestal as infidelity. I will answer the questions you asked Lady above as much as I wait to read her response. Yes we know each others’ earnings and savings. He can use my card details huko and I can use his. We also come together as one when there is tremendous pressure from relas for cash for medical bills. TBH I leave most of the financial matters to him as long as I have access to docs. I mind the kitchen matters…it works v well.

i’ll be honest,bibi akasuggest indirectly tufungue joint account,you know vacay,emergency ama bail money,mi nikaingia box, nimengoja miezi kadhaa kabla aweke kakitu kwa account nikue motivated but wapi.yeye ako na yake mi yangu but naona hii ni njama.anyway my small sis has the power of attorney of my shit incase i go belly up,cant trust all;);););):smiley:

I do not know about joint accounts but all I did was give the ATM to one account that used to receive a fixed amount of money monthly from a side arrangement… Said it could be used as the card holder saw fit. Took care of the main bills in the household.

Honestly though…all y’all saying beta males this beta males that…what are you tryna put across? you are alpha male if you are in a trustless marriage or relationship?

Alphas don’t marry. They just fuck around. Betas are the providers who marry.

Joint savings account is not in an Alpha vocabulary.

hiyo power of attorney haina maana.

Have been with my wife/partner for almost 15years now. Yes i trust her because along the way i have tried and tested her resolve and commitment to me. Apart from my everyday hustle, we have a joint ventures which we both pay ourselves a basic salary. Yes madam knows how much i make but ultimately i make the decisions.

How well you deal with money as a couple speaks volumes about the level of Trust and Communication in the relationship.
Those are two of the main pillars of any relationship.
I could never be with a woman with whom we didn’t do 100% of our finances together.
