I don’t think the rigidity of a formal arrangement like this is necessary or even helpful. Both partners’ financial status is likely to change significantly over the course of a relationship.
- adam_arthur 3y agoAnd if parameters change, the decisions around finances can change too. Your response implies that its unhealthy to speak openly and clearly about finances. It's much healthier to be concrete and open about how money is managed rather than having some vague understanding or not talking about it at all. If you have a clear understanding that you've both agreed on, then a joint account doesn't provide any benefit.
- emodendroket 3y agoNo, you’re just putting words in my mouth. I don’t think it’s unhealthy to discuss finances. I think formally delineating everything and having a change management process is excessive.
