Joint Checking Accounts

[michigancat]

So simple-minded abstraction.

Ok man. I would bet you have a problem with your wife/girlfriend judging from your responses.

Yes, you've got this marriage thing all sorted.  Women are basically parrots.  Put a sheet on their cage and they think it's nighttime.

Never said I had anything sorted out, but I would like to think that a guy doesn't marry someone that is a controlling bitch from the get-go. If I can assume that's true, you'd like to think that she'd be open to budgeting the money fairly. Now if you, or anyone else, marries someone that isn't reasonable, then yea you've got a problem that separate accounts won't fix. I will not marry someone like that.

Just don't give her too much power or you'll spoil her.  Once they get a taste, then plop go your nuts in the handbag.

You know that's not what I said. You're taking this awfully personal, Bread. Problems at home, buddy?

Yep, bread's balls are clearly stored in BIG HANDBAG

The best part is how everyone prize fighting in this thread seems to be taking everything very personally. WILL continue watching even though the original question was settled ages ago.

FALSE.  He stores them in a basket.

The only one taking anything personally is KITN...people are just picking on him because he's a shitbrain.

Did you find a good credit union or go with one of the big banks?

Haha, I said I didn't exactly use good tact originally MC.

It's cool if you think joint accounts are best. I disagree though. Bread is undoubtedly butthurt though. Not sure why

Attacking shitbrains is a bedrock principle of gE.com as I understood it.  Very impersonal.  Also SB thinking whether or not his question was answered matters to the survival of this thread.    It's like he had a stroke.

no one cares about joint accounts at all. the issue is your assertation that spending money she can't see will avoid arguments over spending she doesnt want you to spend.

I rough ridin' said joint works best for some,   separate works best for others in a direct reply to you, no less. Good grief you're a dense one.

A lot of people in here that are insecure about their marriages and can’t handle people that do things differently.

I think you're the most intolerant in this thread.

Everyone's situation is different. Single joint accounts work for some while separate accounts work better for others.

It's simple budgeting. I think everyone should do that as a couple. It's just easier to avoid any conflicts of spending since it's equal for both.

I've already conceded that if a guy is married to a bitch or a woman to some dickface, then yeah, it won't work anyway because they made a bad choice in a spouse.

"You" was used generically in reference to anyone that that thinks joint is best. Sorry I wasn't clear.

As long as you keep her in the kitchen and barefoot from the very beginning she won't ever want to leave.

Their is always an outlier. You need to stay the F out of the kitchen.

I have never had a problem with KITNfury and don't really disagree with his stance on joint accounts. But from his quotes in this thread, it's pretty clear that he belongs on The Other Board, given his absolutely atrocious views on women and language he uses when discussing them. Hopefully TownieCat and his crew can teach him how to respect women, good grief.

=Mods?=, please change KITNfury to "MisogynistCat" or something similar. I'll fax in the forms.

I guess I find I've found that women are good with consistency. IME, it does go bad if you try to take back what you've given them, in this case the "power" to decide how you might spend your money.

She buys some expensive handbag? If it’s out of her account, who cares. You buy a wave runner without running it by her? Well, you used “your” money so she can’t say anything.

I feel bad for guys that have to check with their wives before they buy what they want, which is apparently several of you here. Have separate money so you can take your balls out of her expensive handbag she bought without asking

And my personal favorite, regarding the "balls out of her expensive handbag" statement:

...I stand by that quote.

Oh yeah, this on in another thread today, too:

I'm guessing Rowdy figured he get out of jail and just start slayin' some hoes. He either A) did indeed slay a bunch of hoes, got satisfied and got back with Tami or B) found out that hookin' up wasn't as easy as he thought and decided to get back with Tami.

@Rick RowdyBoyy Daris--do not let Misogynist Cat date your sister under any circumstances.

I'm not married but I plan never have to worry about hearing about it for buying what I want with my money.

You don't say? I'm shocked. Shocked.

[OK_Cat]

Holy crap wonder meal,

RowdyyBoyyy/Tami speculation is out of context here and not fair, but otherwise good research says this peer reviewer.
