Shared account or everyone on your sandbox?
A common life does not necessarily mean canceling a separate account and transferring all money to one "married". There are many variants to marry in marriage. For example, you can split your spending or set up a single joint account that will save your household or holiday finance and keep your current accounts at your "pocket money".
However, keep in mind the great life events, such as the first years of childcare, or even unpleasant matters such as longer illness or loss of work. In such cases, as a rule, one of the partners is forced to finance the entire household. Therefore, it is a good idea to have a sufficient margin in the joint account or rely on the reserve on the partner account.
Tip: Agree with your partner in advance on how much you will be involved in household spending. Try to figure out how you would handle the situation if one of you were to be eliminated for a shorter or longer time from the work process. Prevent unpleasant surprises and unnecessary quarrels over money, in addition to stress.

It saves money for the whole family, " says Cyril Křupal of Cofidis.
So you can start making your plans for a while before you leave everything as they are, and just start a piggy bank with your partner.
