You wanna go on a golf trip with your buddies? Have fun. :) Separate bank account.
You wanna go on a shopping spree? Have fun. :) Separate bank account.
Yup...it really does work.

How long have you been married? How is your arrangement working out for you?
To humor me, how long does AOII Angel have to be married for her view to be valid?

7 years isn't a long time.


I don't think you really know how financially hard marriage can be, but I'll buy what you said. Just so you know, the whining doesn't really help you.

^^^He's not married. He just does a lot of "nailing" and "knocking up".

FTW.

Of all people, Dr. Joyce Brothers calls the combination of joint & separate accounts "MOMO" - Money Of My Own. Both paychecks are put into the joint account and the money budgeted for the marriage (including a savings account) is taken from it. Then the rest is equally divided between the partners.

I have a jaundiced view of money & marriage, as I've only ever dated two men who made more than I. As much as I'd like to turn those odds around, it sounds as if it's not going to happen. So, MOMO and a possible prenup are the only way for me to go.

I didn't know you had to be in college to date a chick who works at the mall.

you don't have to be. but if you want a chick who doesn't have much earning potential or professional ambition as a mate then that's your prerogative.

Yeah, but I think it's pretty shitty to use someone for money.

i think it's pretty shitty, too. it's even more shitty to date someone whose highest aspiration in life is to ask me if i want oregano or vinegar on my sub. we won't have much to talk about.
