for every 100 or more sometimes ive seen.I have a bank account,but sometimes have to deal with other banks because family will gift us money but have both our names on it,and ill never have a joint account ever again after my first wife screwed me on that.My grandpa paid me from his business account for a gift not long ago after the baby was born and his bank(bank of america) charged me 5 friggin bucks to cash it there,all because it said me and wifey, not me or wifey.

Well.......I guess I totally understand that point.....after going through a previous nasty divorce myself....I got hosed too. Took me years to get passed it with my trust issues. But I had to let it go to move on and before I could truly love my new wife. I also understand the "gifting" money thing your talking about......I think my mother gifted us 6500$ when my boy was born.....but I got over alot of my trust issues and we have joint accounts. She isnt a bad person deep down like my ex and has her own money and great job.

I dunno man......im not hatin for that choice....but maybe try to let the past be the past and move on from the ex or atleast try. Your current wife doesnt care about you not doing a joint account? With a child together? Because of an ex? My wife might have a few, fair, questions for me over that.
