To my mom, it seems complicated but to us, it works. DH would FREAK if he saw my business credit card for the month. I pay it off,...no big deal but just seeing that kind of number would freak him out. That's why it's mine. He is not obligated to pay for debt my business incurs....it's my baby...not his
You have to find what works for your relationship. |
like i said earlier we have 1 but but brotherinlaw learned the hard way that he propbably should have had another on his own.He and his wife werre having problems and she completely cleaned out thier joint account left him with nothing and she did it on a day when his check was deposited into the account.she was gone when he got home (after going to the bank and trying to get money out to get the car repaired!)what a way to find out your wife is leaving!
