I would separate the accounts, so you can continue to be responsible with money and so your boyfriend's frivolous waste does not impact your finances. Let him pay for his own mistakes - he won't change until he wants to. I would say the opposite – you aren’t required to share accounts.

While our debt is not nearly so small, it is all student loans, it just feels good to see people survive it and be free. This is so encouraging.
