Married Fanatics: Joint money or separate money?

Of course! They also have to call Gladys over at the switch board to connect all their calls and a whistle blows when’s it’s lunch. Don’t like none of that fancy internet like the people in the big cities use.
That's NOT believable, separate estate plans are essential to reach Bingo.
I agree, we have all complained but the board is not going to change it, and there is nothing the staff can do about it. There is no direct deposit offered.
That is just so backwards. I’m also stunned that a “board” is somehow making that decision. They are cool with getting a paper check? So weird
Why is this so hard for some people to understand, this is a public school district here in Iowa, the only way to be paid is by check. The board secretary basically tells the board this is the way she is going to do it, and the board does not want to rock the boat. The union no longer has a say in the matter, since we cannot collectively bargain for rights any longer. If you work in the district, you get paid with a check.

Because it’s 2023 and there is no such thing as a “pay disk”. Like I know Iowa education systems are falling behind but damn this is just wild
Just giving you a hard time. It seems crazy to me that an entity the size of a school district can't figure out direct deposit!
Just for convenience sake it should be at least a joint banking account because if your spouse dies you have to jump through hoops to get to the account if you aren’t on it.
Just put the account on a pay disk, you’re covered no matter what then
This is exactly what my family says around rural Iowa when it comes to things that are easy to do or have been modern for roughly 20 years.
Broadband expanded and a few family friends got internet finally, but when I've asked family about it, they think it hasn't gotten 'that far north' yet. This is like 2 miles from the friends. Wireless has been available for....as long as it's been available and it's weird how people aren't able to learn about this type of information.
It sounds like the person in charge of the paycheck dispersement just doesn't like or can't handle change when that change would actually make things easier and more secure.
Does the entity who does the district's audits ever suggest electronic banking as a secure, efficient method of maintaining the district's financial assets? Or something?
No clue if the auditors have said something about it or not. It was a shock to me when I started in the district six years ago, we had always had direct deposit for over 10 years in the other district before it closed, but they would not do it. No longer bothers me, since I retired in May, and IPERS is direct deposit.
Imagine being an auditor or something similar and being used to just checking a PDF file or something in electronic form and then being handed a metal box full of paper filings to sift through.
I don’t think it’s because they can’t figure it out, sounds like they have an old bitty working, who doesn’t want to change. Person probably also thinks that moving to an electronic pay system will eliminate their job.
The transformation of this thread from marriage finance **** slinging to everyone ragging on an antiquated school district's payment system is why I love CF.
I'm surprised the superintendent can't talk them into that. I figured they would like to get that +10,000 check in right away.
