Does it make sense to have separate emails for each individual financial account (banking, credit cards) or is that overkill? I'm just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they'd have all account information?

You've used some phrasing that I am not really following. What exactly do you mean by "stable" in regards to an email address? And what is an "unknown" domain?

Fair enough, I took some time to explain it better above :)
