thank you everyone, you have all been absolutely fabulous. I know what I need to do with the information shared. I can't thank you enough. Verdict: - no joint account, rent as opposed to mortgage, if it comes to mortgage my name on the deed not on the mortgage.
Hope it all doesn't goes south and end up in Antartica, but will let you know if it does.
Happy Holidays to you all, I am about to jump on a plane and head over to USA for Xmas with my man. take care and all the best!!.
Thanks Steve6610 on the Congrats ...funny being an Aussie and finally finding someone, and he happened to be on the other side of the world. I knew he was out there, but wasn't sure when or where..
I like your input too, have other sign, but would that not have others involved in your personal financial affairs?
I actually never believed in joint accounts, bit of an independant Aussie chick, but thought getting on now, that perhaps I should ...my parents had one with no dramas.
The Account will be set up to get our dreams of living in a beautiful location, and I am just wondering if I am to show more committment to give him peace of mind? not sure?
I would like to get everyone's opinion here, because it's such a sensitive subject at the best of times, especially by those burnt in the past.
Dilema: Have a great relationship with my guy who I met right here. I am from Australia and he from USA. We are moving into the "planning of the future" together phase, which I am all for and loving it.
Question: in a serious situation, of setting up a joint bank account for the future, would you do it before marriage or after marriage?
I have my own convictions on this subject but I don't want to count it out completely if there is something I am not seeing.
Thanks heaps everyone I look foreward to your feedback
Hi Damo9 I believe I have found the decent guy I was looking for, we started talking a few days ago. I will be in the USA in 5 weeks for a birthday celebration, so I might just throw caution to the wind and meet him ...oh with a bodyguard just in case.
Damo if you live your life with such angst and negative feelings towards Aussie chicks how can you open your heart to trusting anyone for that matter? I too hope your new found lady and you work out, the world needs more positives than negatives. Good Luck.
I would like to put this question out there, seeing everyone one with a bad experience is hacking the heck out of the Aussie chicks and New Zealand chicks.......What do you think of Nz Men & Australian Men?

Is a joint bank account wise?
