Welcome to the June 18, 2018 Waiting List!
This is a list of bees that are currently in relationships and are currently waiting for a proposal from their significant other. As these bees get engaged they are crossed off the list and a blurb about their engagement is posted. Each week a new list is posted to reflect new additions and recent proposals.
For more information and trivia about the waiting list and the waiting list clean up, click here: https://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/the-waiting-list-rules-and-info/
Getting added: if you would like to be added to the list, please ask to be added in a comment below and you will show up on next week’s list!
Getting crossed off: when you become engaged, please share the happy news in a comment on the current list. Remember to inform me of your proposal or you won’t get crossed off!
These are the bees that have received proposals in the last week and are now off the waiting list.
Congratulations Bees!
Kailani18 is off the list. She was proposed to while on an overnight backpacking trip in the same place they had their third date!
Megs821 is off the list. He proposed while they were enjoying time with their kids camping and eating s’mores. He gave her an extra special s’more even though she doesn’t like them with a ring box in between two graham crackers. She’s loving rocking her Tiffany Novo ring!

This Weeks question:
How do you feel about combined finances? Are you going to combine? Are you going to keep them separate? A combination?

Thanks for adding me to the list!
This weeks question: Currently, my boyfriend and I have a “semi-combined” finances. We have a joint account for our joint bills and expenses (rent, utilities, renters insurance, etc). We still have our own account for personal bills and debts (my car payments and other car expenses separately from his car playments and his debts payments). Eventually, we will combine our finances when we get married (and when his debt is paid off).

I’ll start this one off, we will be doing partially combined finances.
We each don’t really have any debt. Our house will be mortgage free, when it’s finally built. We use our credit cards sparingly and we bought our vehicles cash. He keeps his investments and pensions I keep mine as well. We will have a joint that we equally dump the same amount into for our household bills and a savings that we equally contribute to for household wants and emergency savings. The rest is ours to do with as we please.
I don’t comment on his Snap-On tool addiction and he doesn’t comment on my shoe and book horde.

I think we will have a combination of separate and combined finances. For me I feel like a little bit of financial independance can only be good 🙂

We won’t live together prior to marriage but the plan is to combine finances. We’ll have a joint account checking and savings, do the full 401k contribution, and have an investment account. Will also probably choose one amex and visa and close our other accounts.
We we are both high earners so there’s less of a concern of spending money we “didn’t earn” individually.
We will, however, also have a prenuptial agreement.

You can take me off the list! He proposed Friday while on a double date with our best friends! He was playing the song from a show we all watch together that he’s been jokingly saying he was going to propose to for months.

pnd2018 : Congratulations!!
As for finances, we have worked out to do a mixture as well. We will each put a certain % (I make more, so will add more) into a savings account for travel, future house, etc. We will split the mortagage, cars (we each owe about the same amount) and bills 50/50, then we will each have our own spending $$ account. Mine will be a little lower until I pay off my student loans, only a couple of years away. But I agree that we each need our own spending money! No comments on our own amazon boxes that show up on the doorstep almost daily!

pnd2018 : omg congrats!!
I’m not 100% sure how we’ll do finances, but my personal ideal would be a large joint account that we put most of our money into for things like groceries, house stuff, pets, kids, etc. then we could each have smaller accounts that we can use at our own discretion and to pay our personal bills (namely my student loans, which I have no desire to have him help with).
We’ve started touching on this subject a little bit, as he recently opened up his accounts to show me his assets and he knows my assets are largely attached to my torso because of circumstances.

We have had partially combined finances for a year now. We have a shared account where we both deposit an agreed upon amount of money from each paycheck. We also have a savings account connected to the debit card where we each put aside money for vacations or big purchases. We used it this year to save money for our trip this summer. I’m in charge of paying bills from the shared account, and we both use our on individual accounts to pay car payments, my gym membership, clothes shopping, etc. We have no student loans, which is nice.
I doubt we’ll combine fully, at least for a while, as he is a little careless and frequently forgets to pay off his credit card, and my credit score is awesome, so until he can bring his up within 50 points of me and hold it there, I have no interest in fully combining.

Congrats to the newly engaged bees!
I had joint finances with my ex-husband and it was okay, but my Boyfriend or Best Friend is more comfortable with partially joined finances for certain reasons.

DaniGirl03 : SO and I rent, and whilst we don’t have a joint bank account we already share finances, depending on certain factors. E.g. We are moving soon – SO earns more than me and has more savings, so he is paying the deposit but I am paying the first month of rent. I pay Seven’s vet bills as she was “my cat first” but SO would help out if I couldn’t afford it because of course he loves her too. We share groceries etc.

Thank-you for adding me to the list! 🙂
Regarding your question, my SO and I have a joint bank account. Some may have mixed reviews regarding this; however, important notes to make mention of are that my SO is a financial advisor who actively follows our investments on a daily basis and we further review our finances together on a weekly basis. 🙂
We have separate debit accounts that we add to on a weekly basis – either party can choose to spend their money on whatever they please or can choose to save their money. However, those two sepearate accounts are linked to our joint account and can be accessed by either party at any time if needed.
A high level of trust is required when organizing your finances this way.
