Don't get married. It's people like you who make that rate as high as it is( it's isnt 50% by the way)
Exactly!! How are you with someone for a number of years and want to stay financially stagnant?Yeah. I read that shyt like
That's one of the biggest benefits to marriage. Two incomes can multiply into big things if the correct money decisions are made.
If you quadrupled your worth, then wouldn't be bytching about half because it'd still be more than what you came in with if the marriage were to end. You maintain the same financial level and naturally you'll be screwed if divorce happens. Good grief.
Do what works for you. I'm just giving an opinion based on how I feel about marriage and finances. I don't see sepearate accounts being a good thing. Meech is married and he thinks the same way. It's all a matter of opinion.

i make the bulk of the money in the household. i pay the bulk of the bills. wifey pays little shyt like cable, water bill, and cell phone bills. i'm more disciplined with money than she is. so why would i put our financial well being in her hands? id rather just make all the money, pay all the big bills, and be in charge of all of the financial decisions. it has worked for us for 10 years (14 years, actually), so
i wanna slap you like a shurmuta that you are

If both partners have incomes that far exceed their lifestyle requirements this shouldn't be a problem. If your current lifestyle hangs on the fact that you have combined incomes then the point you made is key. I have always checked with my girlfriend to see whether she has extra cash, savings or investment accounts to see if its someone i can live/ co-habit with. I hate sponsorships.

So you've been married to a financial retard for 10 years and you're ok with that?
Why wouldn't you want to teach your wife to be a responsible adult financially than treat her like a child and give her limited financial responsibilty? What if you got sick or out your right mind and she had to handle the finances? Do you think your family would bein good shape if she's only used to paying cable and cell phone bills? Son, you're a fukking team you should feel confident that financially you'll be in good shape in the event you weren't able to call all the shots. She should feel confident knowing if she had to take lead of the finances she could make decisions that were best for the family.

You don't have to keep a seperate account to do that. With a joint account you could see what she's doing wrong and work to correct it. As it stands she's free to make bad decisions without you even knowing about it.
I'm ready to spend my life with my wife. Divorce could happen but I'm not gonna let that shape my decisions. Plenty of men with seperate accounts still end up fukked after a divorce
Had a coworker who's best friend had a separate account the wife didn't know about to use for gambling and all types of fukkery... and had the statements delivered to a P.O. Box. This man went through all types of lengths to cover up his tracks. I had to store this advice in mental rolodex for future references 
Yep, she was telling me how back in the day if she knew shyt was going to go bad she'd hit the bank and withdraw all the cash
I dont see how any responsible finanacial institution would allow something this to happen. There should be no way any party in a joint account can just one day up and try to withdraw large sums with out at least notifying the other party.
Seperate Accounts for me. Im just the type of nikka that wants NOBODY in my money bizness, wife (not married), brother, mother, kids, govt....nobody so it's nothing against her, it's just how I operate

LMAO!! YOU'RE the one who said your wife wasn't disciplined with money and you didn't feel comfortable putting the financial well being of the house in her hands. You made it seem like she was financially retarded, not me. Again, do what works for because it works but if the reason you're doing it that way is because you don't have financial confidence in your wife, then that's pretty wack to me.
