If something happened tomorrow, would your family know where to start?
In most households, one person handles the money. The bills, the logins, the insurance, the auto-pays.
The other believes it's being handled, which is fine until it isn't.
Here’s a suggestion:
• Build one shared document with every account and explain how to access it. Update it periodically.
• Consider having both names on the accounts you say are jointly owned.
• Check out a password manager you both can access.
• Keep a one-page summary in a safe place with what to do, who to call, and where to look.
The couples who do this often say the same thing afterward: “We should have done it sooner.”
