When someone has both personal and joint accounts, it would be useful to see a summary for both accounts, regardless of which account they are currently viewing.
Now we have a joint account, that will be our account of choice, though some regular expenditure is still going out of my personal account. Consequently I have no real need day-to-day to view the summary of my personal account, but I still want to know if funds are getting low and it would be useful to see its current balance even from within my joint account summary.
