Separate Spousal Bank Accounts

Good morning everyone! How was your weekend? Did you go out and do anything fun or exciting? We had a busy weekend here and got a lot of work done around the house! We are about 80% done now with our new coastal landscaping projects and hubby got the 2 busted out windows (from a storm last weekend) replaced. We are hoping to start gutting the official living room next week so that we can start the remodeling in there.

Anyway, How many of you who are married have separate bank accounts from your spouse? Hubby and I have a joint checking & a joint savings account. But…we also have separate checking & savings accounts too. Some people think that it is odd but that is how we have always done it…for over 28 years and it has worked for us! Since my daughter is getting married next September, I have advised her to do the same thing, have one joint account but also to keep a separate account. Your thoughts?

We had a few giveaways close late last night so we do have winners to announce this morning. As always, we spend time every morning validating entries, trashing out the cheater entries and then randomly select a winner using random.org. We then double check that persons entry to make sure it’s legit and then finalize it.

Winner for the Seabuck Wonders Skincare is… Emily Mahr
Winner for the Pillow Décor Giveaway is… Christine (daisy)

Congratulations to both of our lucky winners on this fine Monday morning! Emails will be sent to the winners shortly. Have a great start to your week everyone!
