Here I am, writing letters back to parents who sent checks to the wrong place... AND, I realized that a wide majority of the wives are still keeping their maiden name. What's wrong with you?! Change your last name so it'll make my life easier!!! The only exception should be if your husband's last name is something weird like "Suckafoo" for example. But if your maiden name was Wright and you married a Wong, then change it (for me please)!
For example, let's say there's a student named Tim Wong. On the checks, the names John Wong and Shaniqua Wright are on the top. You already know that they're married, but Shaniqua doesn't want to be a Wong, she wants to be a Wright (you don't want to be wrong, you want to be right, harharhar). Life just gets a little more complicated for me because you refuse to take your husband's last name. So, this leads to the next question: do I refer to you as Ms. Wright or Mrs. Wong? Questions, questions, questions...
(This is also in reference to married couples) I also noticed that some married people still have their own checks. I have read that women are becoming more independent, but if you're married, that means y'all become 1, yeah? Instead of just doing your laundry, you do both. Instead of cooking for 1, you cook for 2. You get the drift, yeah? 2 become 1. So... this, leads to my next example.
I notice that Shaniqua Wright has her own checks. Instead of maybe a Tom and Shaniqua Wong, she's still a Wright. Even a Tom Wong and Shaniqua Wright would be a little better. But why do you have your own separate checks, still?! Sharing is caring... unless you still don't share a common bank account and you had a pre-nup, but that leads to a whole different discussion...

i think i'd want separate accounts for smaller, discretionary things. it's much easier to balance instead of having to notify your spouse each time you buy something (you won't have to worry about not having money in the account bc your spouse made a debit)--and it'll let you have some discretionary freedom. -ihtc
