According to @nd_bnd, the client and her husband had saved up $16k (GH₵134,737.58) together in their joint account, but the man, for some reason, depleted most of it without his wife's knowledge and left just $4 (GH₵33.68) behind.

The banker proceeded to advise couples to make a conscious effort to have separate savings accounts to avoid future misfortunes.

In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Betty Mensah, a professional marriage counsellor based in Takoradi, shared more about the need for couples to avoid having joint bank accounts;

"As long as we are human beings, we are bound to change, and that change takes place even in marriage. Having only one account where both husband and wife contribute their savings to is completely wrong.

Anything can happen, and that can be very detrimental. It is safe to have individual accounts and establish the percentages each person needs to contribute for expenses and bring money together in that regard", she said.
