These are the financial moves to make after getting married. One, decide how you'll combine accounts. Choose joint, separate, or a hybrid "yours/mine/ours" system. Open one joint account just for shared bills. Two, update beneficiaries everywhere. That includes your 401k, IRA, and life insurance beneficiary forms. Update or create a will and power of attorney. Three, re-check your tax filing status. Married filing jointly vs. separately. Run both to see which saves more. Four, compare insurance plans. Pick whichever health plan is cheaper/better. Bundle auto/home policy for discount. Five, build a shared emergency fund. Target 3 to 6 months of combined household expenses. Keep it in a HYSA (joint).
