Joint Checking Accounts

How does she pronounce la croix?

la croy

:( haha. I had to ask my French friend how to pronounce it properly.

That's the only way for any white midwesterner to pronounce it.

Mmm or you could just learn to pronounce it properly?

What do you do if you win Powerball with a ticket that you purchased using funds from your own account? Put the winnings in your own account?

You unfortunately have to put your percentage of that income into the joint account.

What's the deal with white women and La Croix? My goodness. Did a mommyblog recommend it?

Mom and sister SdK love it.

It's her favorite mixer. White girls think they're staying skinny by mixing their drinks with it. It's a whole science that I've studied over the last year with her friends.

My wife mainlines that gross crap. And during my girls' soccer games all of the women who drive imports have this stuff in hand as if it's essential for life. I didn't see this until last fall, now it's everywhere.

You wouldn't (would) be amazed at how much of that crap moves through the Target DC. It's quite insane.

I'd imagine target sells more of that than Wal-Mart

Croy is the proper pronunciation according to the company so maybe you should #educate yourself

I would guarantee that beyond a doubt. It was such a pain in the was loading 60 cases of La Croix onto a cage cart while 40+ ft in the air. And doing that quite often.

SdK mom is from LI and grew up on seltzer water (seltza wadda) so it makes sense for her to like it. I don't get anyone else doing it.

Gotta love inventing your own pronunciation to other languages. "Hey Julie, how do you say the cross when back home on Blois? We say luh croy." Lmao

What if your kid ends up being really good at a sport but that sport is really expensive? You want to see your kid succeed at this sport but your SO thinks it is too expensive. Now you have to dip into your fun money so your kid can do a sport...but then the kid gets a scholarship for doing that sport....do you get a rebate into your fun money from the college savings account?

I think you would have to have very little respect for your significant other to spend money on your kids that they don't think you should be spending, whether you have joint or separate accounts. I would never do that. If it becomes a big problem, there is always divorce.

 I respectfully disagree. Shouldn't kids be #1? Your significant other is no scout. Better than them smoking pot behind the bleachers at age 13. I'm not a parent yet, but I expect her be to on course with this scenario. My Parents have been married since 18. I'll make it work for them, like they did for me. Sounds super selfish. Don't have kids if that's your angle.

However, if you want your kids to hate you forever, I get the take.

Read Outliers sometime

[sys]

no, i don't believe that's accurate.  each party is responsible for their own birth control.

That makes zero sense.

i guess you could have a joint birth control supply, but each party would also likely want to maintain separate birth control to avoid fights and whatnot.

You write checks to split costs for everyday purchases? Venmo, bro...

[8manpick]

What about investment accounts? Probably has to be % of income for each person to optimize employer match, but then how do you handle paying the other person back when your 401k outperforms theirs?

[Emo EMAW]

Sex, obviously.

[SdK]

Yeah. Emo has it right.

I write 1 check a month, bro. I don't even write it. Mrs. Wacky does.
