When would you financially bed your partner?

19 May 2008

Poll started 20 May 2008: When it comes to your credit score, it's not marriage, living together or even just holding hands that count. It's all about joint financial products like bank accounts or mortgages (see the credit rating guide). How long before you’d be willing to get a joint account

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
