Married or not, you have got to have a side account in your own name with your folks that he or she cannot touch. So when you do have those financial rainy days, which often happen without warning, you have some way out of it.

Yes, and yes. I can't even imagine making a long term relationship work with someone who handles money very differently than I do. Granted, I suck at money, but I just can't deal with a tightwad. No matter what, though, I will always keep my own account on the side, no matter how much or how little is in it.
