Advantages and Disadvantages of a Joint Bank Account With a Spouse
You and your spouse have the option to open joint savings and/or checking accounts or to each open separate accounts. Choosing a joint account can offer several advantages, and also a few drawbacks.
-
-
A bank account held jointly by you and your spouse can streamline the management of household finances. You will not have to worry about transferring money between accounts to pay bills or build your family savings. If both you and your spouse contribute to the family income, a joint account also permits you to keep a larger balance in one account, which can help prevent overdrafts and bounced checks that can incur fees.
-
Joint bank accounts typically have a right of survivorship, which means that when one spouse passes away, the surviving spouse automatically becomes the possessor of all of the funds in the account.

When Do I Get My FAFSA Money
Q: This will be the first year I am receiving FAFSA money for college. I start college in August, and received a conformation awhile back that my financial aid package has been approved, however my first semester starts in less than a month and I still have not received my FAFSA money. When do I get my FAFSA money?
A: A common question many new students or those new to FAFSA have is when do I get my FAFSA money? It is actually not FAFSA that gives out money directly to students. FAFSA is a tool used to calculate EFC (Expected Family Contribution), which schools use (along with cost of attendance) to help determine if a student qualifies for financial aid, and if so, what types of financial aid, and how much financial aid.
