When you got married/live in relationship, did you get a joint bank account or continue with separate?

We did only joint and I regret it greatly.

My son/his wife have both separate and joint accts.
They both contribute to paying bills and investing in their joint accts. They have separate retirements accts naturally, but both have some money they are free to control separately in the individual accts.

Separate and joint.

Essentially salaries went into our separate accounts and we funded the joint from them which was used groceries etc. Mortgage and bills etc I paid from my account.

Still the way we do it now we're on pensions although some investments pay out into the joint account now.

We have joint accounts for checking and savings but some investment/inherited accounts are separate.
Everyday deposits and bills are handled through the joint accounts.
We tend to view it as "our money" rather than as "mine vs. yours", so we've never had any problems with financial issues.

We have a joint account our pay goes in and we pay everything from the same account. We don't have "my money" and "your money" it's all just Our money.

Had joint, after my mom passed, received an inheritance and put that in a separate account, but still had a joint. The inheritance was used for significant purchases, newer vehicle for myself, update of the kitchen...

Oh, I remember that moment. I was so proud to bring my first married paycheck home with my new last name and present it to my husband to deposit in our joint account. He just looked up at me from his desk like I was an idiot and told me to cash it as he shrugged. The joy left my face and the tears and anger replaced it. It was at that moment he realized he had F’d up! We didn’t have a joint account! We had never discussed it but I had unfairly expected him to have it done.

Needless to say, he got it done the next day and I found out the hard way that the love of my life could not read my mind. 😂😂😂

I'd do separate until married or about to be married but joint after that. I'm pretty sure that's what my wife and I did but it's hard to remember the beginning of the relationship now lol

We have a joint account for bills and sny other combined expenses and also kept our separate accounts.

We had a joint account and it wasn’t a problem.

joint. he deposits, I pay the bills. if he wrote checks the only place they could be cashed would be a pharmacy

We did joint for a different reason. Now we both have our own and I want her name off the joint account

Separate

Lived together 18:year# and didn’t want to commingle funds. Got married never changed it. Community property state

Joint accounts are a good idea, but I also think it’s a good idea for every woman to have her own separate account

We switched to joint when we moved in together.

His money goes into the joint account to pay for everything. My money goes into my account for me

Ours are separate but we have each other's details on apple/google pay

Joint

Always separate.

We have separate accounts

Are there any benefits to joint accounts?

joint with a cash stash.
