Relationship Gist with Fisayo: Is it okay to have a joint account with your partner?
Is it good for a lady and a
guy who plan to have to have joint account?
Dear reader,
Thank you for your question.
Having a joint account with your partner is a very good thing and a very sensitive thing. However, it is mostly good for some married men and women who already have an agreement to why and how they want the joint account to be and what it will use for in clear terms.
Looking at this question, it does not look like they are married or you are actually planning to get married. Let’s even assume you are just in a relationship with the guy or lady.
What is your reason in the first place?
What do you stand to achieve doing that?
Are you ready to accept any consequences to having a joint account with another person?
You have to think carefully before you take any action that you might not be fine with in the future.
We have heard of different cases of how married people complain of how their spouses use the money in the join account. How they even feel cheated in the process.
Are you ready to go through this trauma?
Joint account is very good; that is not a lie because it allows you plan for the future .
The next question is are you sure you have a future with that guy or lady ?
I wouldn’t say you shouldn’t have a joint account with the guy or lady, I just want you to weigh your options carefully and pick the one that will best be convenient for you and your mental health.
We are responsible for whatever action or decision we make, and we should brace up to accept the outcome of such decision.
Will you love to take your time and answer these questions and other question that might pop in
If yes, please go ahead and be sure you have enough clarity before you take the final step. We believe these questions above will provide the answer you are looking for.
