GoAnna that is exactly the reason I keep my finances seperate! I would find it pretty much impossible to get past that. It is great if two people have the same financial goals and money management as each other, but what if you meet a great guy/gal who is compatible in every other way besides financially? (my ex finace is a great example of this). Even if you don't marry, having joint finances with such a person could put back your investment plans by years.
My partner and I were talking last night about couples and finances and as it turns out he is of the belief that once you are married all finances and assets become one but each partner still has their own discretionary spending funds as well. If we do end up getting married way down the track then obviously our financial arrangements would have to be discussed in further detail...
