What's happening is I'm getting married in May 17, 2025, and I've been talking to people about joining bank accounts with my fiancé.

Uh-huh.

And it's hit or miss with everybody.

It's like, get a joint bank account and then have your separate

bank accounts. And let me ask you a quick question.

Yeah, let me ask a question on that. Are you saying that you're asking should we join

bank accounts now as in we're engaged or, oh, okay, so this is not, you're not asking people what they think about joining a bank

accounts after you get married no i was thinking about i mean if we're getting married we might as

well before everything comes out on table so i would tell you yeah i wouldn't have a job if everyone

who got engaged ended up getting married okay and i wouldn't have a job if everyone who got engaged ended up getting married.

Okay.

And I wouldn't have a job if everyone who got married stayed married.

And so I would tell you your impulse is right to absolutely join checking accounts.

And the best, I can give you the data that says it's going to be better for your marriage, long term.

And it forces you to come to the table and join.

Join bank accounts while they're engaged?

No, no, no.

I'm saying, but I'm saying, but I'm going to tell him, don't do it until you get married.

I agree.

Okay, good.

I didn't know where you start joining stuff up.
