I considering moving from "mine" to "ours" as one of the top moves for our marriage (financially speaking, but as time went along - we can relate that sentiment to other areas as well). We initially opened a joint bank account, but kept our old accounts, at different banks might I add (nostalgia?) but over the years (especially once we grew our family) we just used the joint account. It really just simplified life, which was a huge bonus. |
