Infographic: 'Us' cards versus 'me' cards

When it comes to nurturing a happy relationship, millennials might want to take a page from the baby boomers' financial book.

In a new survey, TD Bank found that among all Americans, 47 percent reported sharing all of their credit cards, while 37 percent indicated they only have separate accounts. But when breaking down the results for couples who indicated they were extremely or very happy with their significant other, the percent who share all cards jumped to 53 percent.

TD Bank also looked at the card-sharing data across age groups. Millennials, who are under age 35, were the only group to report more card separateness than togetherness.

The findings for the boomer generation, ages 55 and older, almost exactly mirrored those of happy couples, with the “us cards” crowd outnumbering the “me cards” crowd 52 percent to 31 percent.

TD Bank's survey was conducted in July 2016 among 1,902 Americans age 18 and older who were currently in a relationship. Weighted by age, gender and region to reflect the U.S. population, the findings were released Sept. 12.
