<prompt> Human: Hello personal finance saviors My story is:Me and my fiancée decided to move to the United StatesKansas shes a US citizen while I am from Egypt the system of finance in my country is totally different I have been always relying on debit cards and saving account hence spending only what I have and managing to save as much as I can. The situation is that I managed to save around 5k USD not that much but thats around 50k of my national currency. My fiancée in contrary is spending a lot on lots of unnecessary stuff for example buys new clothes every month or so and she is in big debt university loans and whatnot but since we are marrying soon after I come to the US next month I am totally in the dark side of the financial stuff like what do I do with my savings? Just open a normal savings account? Which bank do I useKansas state? and what are the investment opportunities? Is joint account going to be risky for me giving the inputs above ? Taking into consideration that I wont have work until I get my permission. I am not asking for specific tailored responses I am willing to put as much research as I need I just need some guidance on where I can search for options to choose from. Some responses that could familiarize me with the financial sector would be great. I apologize if there are any mistakes in my post TL:dr : moving to the US with my future wife having small savings of 5k USD but know absolutely nothing about financial life in the US Edit: correcting two words I didnt expect so many comments and recommendations thank you everyone Assistant: It sounds to me like you two have different spending habits. First and foremost, Id have a conversation with her about money and how the both of you are going to plan for your future. When you get married, all of the debt you BOTH incur while you are married, both of you will be responsible for. So, if you save 10K dollars and she spends 20K dollars the first year you are married and then decide to get divorced for some unforeseen reason, each of you are responsible for 5K dollars of the debt. protect yourself. source: am divorcedHuman: I just learnt this piece of information now and it worries meAssistant: Get a fucking prenuptial agreement!I cannot stress this enough. Some women will pull the offended card asking if you dont trust her or if you expect the marriage to end. Ignore this shit and do it anyway. Its not just some thing for rich celebrities, DO IT.Human: So what exactly I need to include In this?  <response>: options I think you should talk to a lawyer regarding prenups.
