Dear Queenie,
My girlfriend and I have been going together for more than 2 years and now she wants us to have a joint checking account. I don’t want to do this, but when I keep on refusing and try to explain why, she just gets mad at me.
Queenie, am I wrong? And if I’m right, how do I make her understand?—Careful boyfriend
Dear Boyfriend,
You absolutely right. You should not have a joint account with her if you are not married to her. Why should she want you to do this, unless she just always wants to do what she wants, or just wants to get her hands on your money?
If you are even thinking about doing what she wants you to do, talk to a lawyer and a financial consultant before you go any further.
