New 'SPLITs' financial trend sees couples keeping finances separate

A new financial trend called "SPLITs" is emerging, where couples maintain separate bank accounts and finances while planning a shared future. This approach, identified by financial planning company Facet, reflects a generational shift away from traditional joint finances, driven by increased financial independence, later-life partnerships, and a desire for personal autonomy. While SPLITs benefit from dual incomes like DINKs (Dual Income, No Kids), they emphasize financial independence and protection, requiring open communication about shared expenses and individual spending.

    Move over DINKs: SPLITs are the new financial power couple—they have two incomes, no kids yet and no joint bank account

    DINKs out-earn parents by $42,000 a year. SPLITs get the same two-income benefits and, a financial planner says, skip a lot of money fights.
