Things like 401Ks, IRAs account, brokerage account, how much the mortgage you already paid, etc. For things like a brokerage account and IRA accounts you should stop contributing to them when you get married. “But i still want to contribute” you might say. And i agree you should. That’s why you open a new account even if it’s just for you. That way you have a ‘before marriage’ account and a ‘during marriage account’. Dont contribute anymore to the ‘before marriage’ account. Do the same for your IRA, just make another account. That way it there’s less chance of conmingle and you have the proof. You can save a copy every year for morw verification. Do it even if it doesnt seem like a lot of money. Even 5K or 10K at an 7-8% ROI is a decent amount after 20 years.
