I read an interesting article on the Globe and Mail website recently that indicated that one third of young Canadian couples (aged 18 to 35) keep separate bank accounts, and that only one in ten couples share all their accounts.
This may be a bit surprising, except for the fact that many of the couples that were polled were not necessarily already married. I think it’s important for couples to be on the same page with their finances, although I can understand why some couples choose not to keep everything joint.
