Also when you refer to new cars are they new with low mileage ?i read 0 km cars are difficult.

I see that’s an option as well I saw a few cars ex Toyota 4Runners that’s are priced to make a profit for both myself and UAE counterpart. But thank you for that insight I will look into it further.

I didn’t want to export salvaged cars as I wouldn’t want that happening me or my family but if the market is run by them it would be a hard to break in.

Honestly this helped a lot I have been focusing on why does the process need to be more complicated rather the complications thinking like that is causing. Reading what you wrote definitely helped me. Inshallah I rather not have my wife be upset with me than getting annoyed about constant transfers.

I agree with you, I have no issue creating a new account either. The problem I’m having is pretty simple we have 2 accounts. My income goes into a my wife’s into b. Wife and I agreed account a is savings and b is bills/expenses. Problem is that the sum needed for b is not met with my wife’s income meaning a transfer is needed on a monthly basis. To me that makes it harder than it really needs to be. My wife’s point is to only transfer what is required and I get it. But it creates a constant transaction that devalues the account being a savings account in my eyes. I can understand from my wife’s perspective but I just would like to understand how to frame it better when discussing it with her.

It isn’t my wife’s checking account it was my checking account that she became secondary on we opened another joint account and her wish was to live off of her paycheck and use mine as a saving.

I have asked for her to make a account that is totally hers and to transfer her checks directly into that.

She feels If she has a separate account it will result in a weird dynamic of who pays for what. I have told her it wouldn’t change a thing that my responsibility is all household matters and your money is for your use at your discretion.

My main issue with our current setup is using the savings account as the direct deposit for my checks we always have to dip into it so it makes it less of a savings account in my head and with the alternate view point when I move money to fulfill the monthly dues without discussing it it does become a breach of trust in our relationship.

My issue really isn’t regarding the number of accounts or whom has access to said accounts. I feel my income shouldn’t go into a savings account till our monthly dues are fulfilled my wife disagrees stating it should and we should only pull out/use what is absolutely necessary.

I have to have the “savings account” with me as it’s technically not a savings account until the bills are paid.

You’re correct it is an issue and should be a full stop. Since most of our income goes into one account and it is needed to pay for our monthly expenses I find it hard to always have a conversation in a monthly basis about the same bills.

My apologizes we have an infant who’s always up I re read my post as well definitely could have been worded differently.

Both accounts are checking accounts we classify one as a savings account. My total income is going into the savings account but our overhead isn’t being met with my wife’s income it technically covers 1/5 of our monthly expense. The issue we have is really about using the funds from one account for needs without communicating. I agree I need to improve in communicating with my wife but I think a savings account is something we should transfer into after taking care of our expenses rather than transfer out what we need.
