    I second "A vote against allowing "plus other half" to their own holdings"
    I think segregating the two would be best, but that's just me.
    I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
    The windows are small and the walls almost bare,
    There's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
    I listen all night for your step on the stair.

    I do, it seems to give the best of both worlds.

    Some kind of separation of "couples" accounts would be good. Maybe the overall ranking should be on individual accounts only, then another column added for additional partner accounts.

    Not knocking anyone who's doing the admin for two people's accounts, but by opening accounts for their husband/wife/partner they automatically have double the number of accounts available to them, and possibly the odd joint account too. You can get yourself into double figures just with accounts earning 7% or more!

    Anyway, it's all a bit of fun :D

    Talking of fun.... I've had a fun evening adding macros to my regular saver spreadsheet. For no good reason whatsoever other than for the fun of it.

    Yes I feel that would work

    I think I'd  better withdraw, I thought it was just a bit of fun

    If you want to be rich, never, ever have kids ;)

    As someone who has included my DW regular savers, I am happy to withdraw from the list.

    Thanks Bobblehat for all your hard work. I will continue to follow your updates.  B)

    I’ve included my hubby’s with mine but I’m happy to still be involved and have two columns, maybe I could include only mine in one, and mine and hubby’s combined in the other 🤷🏼‍♀️.
