We each have personal checking and savings. We have a joint credit card, checking and savings. We maintain a ratio based of our base salaries. If I make 200k and she makes 100k then I pay for 66% of the joint cc, mortgage, utilities, etc. and she pays the remaining 33%. Anything we do, or use together gets split like this. Eating out, vacation, etc. Since bonuses and stock are unpredicitable they do not form our "split percentage" but it all just goes into joint savings. Besides that If I want to buy tech, video games, gym membership, whatever I pay for that personally. Same for her clothing, makeup, hobbies etc. I grew up with daily fighting over how my parents spent each others money. Those scars are very deep and this is my attempt to avoid them. We've only been at it for a couple years now but it's great so far. |
