Hello everyone,
I’m from Germany, where it’s common for married couples to join their finances into one bank account and spend together. In our system, known as “Zugewinngemeinschaft,” any financial gains are split 50/50 in the event of a divorce.
I’ve read on Reddit that American spouses often manage their finances separately and might not always be aware of each other’s financial situation. Could anyone share the general sentiment in the U.S. regarding finance in marriage? What is typically expected?
Thank you!
