We combine our money and bills. We don’t separate anything. We have a 100/100 partnership in all we do
Or as a married couple you share your money… I feel like couples that say ‘my money, their money’ have problems
We pay the bills as they come in and split the rest.
It’s our income. One account.
We join our money and pay all our bills and everything from 1 account, buy food and everything from that 1 account, if he wants something he’ll buy it with that money and if I want something I’ll buy it with that money .
We don’t split anything or pay half half, we join everything
50/50. Naturally, there will be times that one will have to contribute more to overall budget if the bills are to be paid. A marriage is a partnership, a team, not a business venture.
It depends on what works for you. But if your/their income isn’t enough to pay for half, the person who makes more should cover it.
Our money goes into the same account by direct deposit and we just pay the bills. We don’t worry about who pays for what. We just pay what needs to be paid.
I have never understood the this is my money and this is your money thing. Do what’s right for you. What works for one doesn’t always work for another.
My 22yrs of marriage, money from both side are put into an account. ALL bills are paid, then whatever is left is to be shared or saved.
My parents 47yrs of marriage, money has always been separate. My dad pays the mortgage & upkeep, all the cars & upkeep & all the kids extracurricular. My mom pays the all the household bills, medical & food.

Any money is OUR money regardless of who makes it. I’m the breadwinner for the family and everything is shared.
