Thank God for Quicken, when I merge my books with my fiance's after the marraige, I am going to have even more accounts to manage.
For married couples, I would be interested in how many accounts are "normal."

Recently married in December. My wife and I have following accts to manage:
Me:
ING Svgs
ING Electric Orange
Charles Schwab
Mellon
Computershare
Bank of America x 3 (Mad Money Acct; Bill Pay Acct; Money Market Acct)
Credit Union
Mutual Fund Accts (direct investment) x 2
Amex x 2 (Business and Personal)
My Wife:
Wachovia
ING Savings
Credit Union
Credit Cards x 2 (Amex and Citi)
Mutual Fund acct x 1
Grand Total = 20. I will consolidating some of the accts to reduce the number. 20 is too many to deal with in theory. However, we have everything on autopilot so it works for now
