It really depends on how involved the two of you are. Like if you've only been together for a few months NO. If the tow of you are committed ONLY to each other, then I'd say yes. BUT be careful about this. Once both names are on the account they have access to ALL the money in the account. That means this money can also be used to secure a loan, a credit card and more. Be careful. Sometimes you don't really know the person until it is too late. |

It depends on the situation. It makes things easier when living together-paying bills. But you need to do it with your eyes open. If you guys have a fight and or break up-you both will have access to the money in that account.
The fact that you are asking a bunch of strangers tells me you have doubts. You are having doubts for a reason. Listen to your intuition. |

no, unless you have been together a really long time and share the place that you live. If he/she is financialy responsible, like they balance thier check book and not go by the avail ammount on thier withdrawl slip than it should be ok. otherwise, you will be overdraft, late on bills, and feel like he/she spends more than you. |

Assuming you are the girlfriend in this - a safe assumption because most guys in the situation wouldn't bother to ask - I'd say you shouldn't because (1) You're probably better off financially - see most guys wouldn't bother to ask (2) It'll affect the possibility of marriage down the line - see "You'll end up paying for your own engagement ring" (3) You'll end up on a court show complaining about your credit rating and being told how silly it was to combine incomes with someone you weren't married to. |

It depends. How long have you been together? If you are just starting to date then I would say no. It is better to wait until you are married. Money is a very tricky situation and it is hard enough when you are married. But if you are just dating, then it would be so easy for you to get hurt if you should break up. So I would say stick to separate accounts until you are married. |

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Don't do it,it is a big mistake.When and if you guys break -up there would be problems.It will be a big issue as to who put in what, how much when & what am I owed if we break up.Don't do it!If you guys are paying bills together,designate 1 person to do that or decide who will pay which bills etc...In other words don't do it.------------------Good luck |

OK for sharing common expenses like rent, food, hydro, water etc.
Otherwise keep your own account.
The common account is susceptible to... you spent big money on that motorcycle, so I can spend the same amount on what I want. That way leads to big problems, both emotional and financial. |

Look if you trust each other and you think your relationship is going to last then go for it; but if not then I wouldn't. It might cause lots of problems. |

um.... how old are you and how serious is the relationship???? If you do, you need to be careful... Make sure you can truly trust the other person... They have full access to your money. I would only advise it if you are very serious and maybe only if you are living together and sharing finances... |

depends on your age, how serious the relationship is, etc.
my soon-to-be husband and I have been together three and a half years and still don't have a joint account. we've recently discussed it, and soon will, but it's probably not the smartest thing to do. you could lose a lot of money and never get it back. it might cause a lot of problems. |

I was married and still had separate accounts. It was just easier for us that way. If you're really serious with the person, it should be fine. |

No way...to many problems..Why do you need joint accounts? You have your money he has his...just share the love...wait til later when your relationship is solid. Do it for the right reasons not just because one of you insists on it or you think you must at this time...don't hurry into something because you might think it's cool. |
