Lol I was going to make that exact joke!

Surprised it didn't work out.

Empathy is overrated.

How is that a joke? Because I pointed it out in a specific instance when the general case is also true?

As I said, I don't really get the "separate accounts so my privacy wrt buying stuff is maintained" gestalt, but, as alluded to a bit earlier, the important thing is to marry someone that isn't a total lunatic about money, however that may happen to manifest.

Keeping it separate seems like potentially a lot more work (are you highlighting line items on your credit card bill and separating them into joint and personal expenses?), but merely the act of discussing this sort of thing and coming to a financial understanding that works for both parties is much less common than I thought as a yute, so here we are.

We have completely separate accounts and each pay for various expenses. My wife packs one of my credit cards in her name which essentially turns everything into joint finances. I have online access to her bank accounts in order to go in and record transactions for budget and tracking purposes. I was going to say we operate like G4S but he pointed out that they never fight about money. I freak out a couple times a year about how overspending is going to ruin our retirement plans but we are both pretty spendy and in reality we will just retire a couple years later and may have to keep one or two less people on our staff to pamper us in our old age. Hopefully.

Monte,

Absolutely everything is automated (transfers between diff accounts every month) in the house of Soul, including bill payments. I assume this is possible in US banks as well?

The "joke" is that you do not come across as empathetic throughout your entire 2p2 posting history so mentioning it specifically in regards to two posters is kind of ironic.

I agree with Yugo that empathy is important, even though he was adopted.

It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.

Hi! Combined account is objectively better in every way if you're on the same page. If not, GOOD LUCK!!!

Anywho, the Berkhan has come back to life over the past few months. I still enjoy his writing (still think he overconcludes from IF research but hey who doesn't wrt their personal niche) and actually really like his new RPT stuff. Gonna start it today. I think it'll be a great way to strength train while cutting + training BJJ. He also gives some recommendations for adding volume if you want to use it to bulk too. I think it's good because it seems fun to me and that's probably what matters most. Cool story bro.

Any good lols regarding Berkhan? Or is he just normal now?

Nothing off the top of my head. I feel like you still encounter some weirdo posts/behavior and catch whiffs of insanity, but I think at a higher level he's decently normal and a reasonable writer/trainer to follow.

Whelp, the hospice process for my mother has run its course, RIP. Wife catching the flu and appearing to be dying at the end was an unnecessary touch, but seems to be ok now. Really weird having normals around for such a thing--it's like no one ever told them life is fleeting and **** happens. Anyway, boom; another two weeks with no exercise whatsoever...so soon there'll be DOMS!

Joint accounts. I obviously manage everything. She's *supposed* to have an allowance and I'm supposed to decide all pricey purchases, but JFC I can't say no to her and I'm certain she realizes this.

I recommend Ruhlman's double-boiler method of scrambled eggs (as well as that book, in general.) It's involved, but in some ways the "for-dummies" version

Separate accounts, joint accounts - all semantics. As others have said (and FB experienced) if someone is bad with money &/or wants to get shady, it can happen very easily.

Was married in my 30's both of us had established bank accounts which we kept (did add as signer/authorized person, which has happened exactly 0 times in almost 12 years).

Key is communication and also helps if you're on the same spectrum on money value and how you spend. Both of us tend to be non-spenders, but that is opening up a bit as we realize we're not 24 and dirt poor making $12K/year salary (yes, that happened and yes I'm old). We do discuss bigger ticket items (with one, I'll call minor hiccup - right after getting married I had the chance to watch my team in the Super Bowl, Bears in 07 SB vs. Indy...we discussed a ticket budget...which I doubled to get in the game. Fairly minor in the dollar amount, but then we didn't have as much as now....but she hasn't forgotten that one, and it comes up (in jest, mostly) a couple times/year).

We've also gone through income shifts over the years and have adjusted who pays what over time as it made sense. Only slight issue we've had in 12 years regarding finances is the fact that she doesn't lookup/log her transactions account and only periodically looks to see balance. Good thing she's not a spender...but again I knew that before saying I do so I'm not concerned.

I could have written this except for the Super Bowl part. And reversing on who doesn't log things. (Why bother? It's all online. She dutifully balances her account in her checkbook ledger - yes, an actual checkbook, even though there are exactly two checks a month - and then sees if it matches online. The things I put up with!)

I'd prob pay whatever you paid to have just the experience of seeing Hester's kickoff return for the first time. Then I'd pay double to have not watch the rest of the game! Or any football, ever again. k.

Sorry to hear that Holliday.

Yo bitches, do we have time to get some dad stakes Superb Owl squares together?

Condolences Holliday.

Very happy to hear your wife is okay.

Condolences for your mom
