Hmm. All of my money and all of my wife's money go into a join account and I hate it. It's definitely the easiest way to pay the bills but I feel like I don't work for money, I just work for a certain lifestyle, and I would rather be on top of my money than it going into a pool.
For the OP, how do you feel about this: If I earn $600 a paycheck and she earns $400 a paycheck, but our bills are $700 total, then she should pay $350 and I should pay $350.
Why should I have to pay 60% of the $700 instead of half? We're both tied to our bills, and we're married, so the monthly expenses should be split down the middle. IMO it's unfair to make the husband pay more of the bills simply because he makes more money. Punished for being successful much???
