clauclauclaudia and i are moving in together. (well, she's moving into my place which is now our place.) which means it's time for one of those scary quantum jumps in relationships.
we opened a joint checking account today. it's with the bank where we both have individual accounts, so we can each shift money into the joint account as needed.
it definitely feels like passing one of those "you must be this tall to ride the serious relationship roller coaster" things.

Date: 2008-10-09 11:32 pm (UTC)I thought the joint checking account was too scary. Not the trust aspect, the keeping track and balancing aspect! I had a hard enough time with just my own account! Our solution was both names on all accounts, but I write all the bills. Why would I want to write all the bills if I have a hard enough time balancing? Beats a balanced account where the bills are paid late! Ahh...relationship compromises.
Have you done (are you looking to do) other legal paperwork, like health care proxies and such?

Date: 2008-10-10 01:42 pm (UTC)which seemed easier than trying to get us up and out and able to sign financial papers on some saturday before noon (on those very occasional saturdays when i'm not on the cape)
