it also allows a certain amount of anonymity with purchases for things like gifts that someone mentioned...

there is a big difference in "surprise! I took x amount of money out of our account to buy you something" and "surprise! here's a nice gift I bought you. you'll get an idea of how much I spent when the CC bill gets paid"...

Credit cards is something I'm not a fan of too much interest I only have one so I can have a credit history, I may buy a video game on it or something and pay it off. But, she has like 4 of them. I told her she needs to decide which ONE she wants to keep cause the others need to be closed out.

not really... as it is shared funds that go to pay it...

I'll also use my CC to pay for things sometime like dinner or stuff whenever we go out, so she's using my CC too...

ahhh well we are splitting hairs on this. I see them as similar/same no matter how many chinese buffets you happen to buy.

Wrong.

Keep all four open and just use one. Keeps the others at a zero balance.

lol w/e

Your wife can use your CC too... If you book a vacation together, it can go on one of your CCs... The money to pay for it still comes from mutual funds...

Yeah, CCs are just a buying tool to keep you from carrying cash... Pay it off in full each month = no interest.

We have 3 checking and 3 savings accounts. I work at a bank, and I have two joint checking accounts. She uses one for spending money, and I use the other. And a savings account for overdraft protection.

I have a checking account at a credit union I use for paying all the bills. She has access to it, but never uses it. We also have a savings account at the credit union with no access other than walking in and getting money out. That is where we keep emergency money.

She does have the big credit card though. I have a small one that only has a 500 limit for buying online and stuff, but she has much better control over her spending habits than I do.

IMO, husband and wife using the same account for spending money is too confusing. I shouldn't have to check with her before I buy lunch for the day. But you should allow her access to your account, at least so she can check it, and vice versa. No point in hiding anything.

Unless you are hiding it for Hookers and blow. :)

My girlfriend and I aren't engaged or married, but we live together and have been dating for 5.5 years. We have separate bank accounts, but are considering opening a joint account that we would only put enough money into to cover mutual monthly bills.

The rest should be kept separate. She makes her money, I make mine.

You have enough advice to form a decision and go with it.... I can't bring myself to share my finances or how many accounts I have with total strangers...

I can tell you that if you spend $$ during the week on lunch regularly... If u have the means at work... Get yourself a loaf of bread and some sandwich meat... Save your "lunch $$" 40 bucks a week is $2,080 of unaccounted for cash...

These types of things come in handy when she's out of town, or maybe when u want to buy somin on the DL without hearing her mouth. Food for thought...

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
