We have a joint account too, for things like: mortgage, big household purchases, vacations we would take together, etc... We each still keep our own separate accounts as well. It just makes it easier overall. Glad you will still be able to have insurance though! That's important.

This is basically the comment I was going to leave. :-) We put money in for mortgage, utilities, and an allowance for joint entertainment, and it covers gas on joint road trips and so forth as well. Glad to hear you're covered! When I got on M's insurance it was a load off my mind as well. I didn't feel like I *needed* more than major medical coverage, but danged if I could figure out how to buy that on my own.

yep. we still have the separate accounts for everything else. like you said--it's just easier that way.

Congrats! You gonna have a big party to celebrate? *grin, duck, and run*

A lot of couples I know do the same thing with the bank accounts--one main one for all the 'mutual' things like the house and utilities, then individual ones for lunches out or clothes shopping.

This is great! And this is what we do as well....as everyone else has said...it makes the joint stuff MUCH easier! Very happy to know you still have insurance.....that is VERY important! :-)
