It should be that way exactly. I mean I'm not married but looking at my parents do (one joint account, two separate accounts for themselves... things like surprises and gifts they get out their separate accounts and often I'd see them each go to the bank to get and read the bank statement of the joint one to see everything is coolI was in the barbershop last week (coincidentally right after I got married) and a breh was speaking on it with input from a brehette
the breh said that everything should be 50/50 on bills, and then he keeps what he has in his own separate bank account, she keeps her own separate bank account and then they have a joint account
The brehette disagreed, stating that she wanted her husband to take care of mostly everything, on a 70/30 instead of a 50/50, and she keep her finances to use as she pleased. And then if husband needed her to contribute, she would

All depend on their earnings, 50/50 split don't work if one spouse earn 60k and the other earn 35k, this can only work if they're in the same bracket
How much should the man pay?Link to the thread:

Ain't no 'right way'. Depends on the people and the personalities. That said I think its silly and kind of anti the idea of marriage to treat your paychecks as 'my money' and 'your money'. I'm all for having seperate checking/savings accounts so you can do what you want with the money you put aside for that but you should have a joint account for family finances

With me and my wife its OUR money. I make more than her so i handle more. But we have an equal say in spending and financial planning.
We have a certain amount from our checks that goes to seperate accounts for retirement, another amount that goes to seperate "fun money" accounts, one for travel, and one for bills.

That's that old school, two become one shyt. Sshyt my mom ran the finances in the house, really.
Her direct deposit went to the bank and Pop cashed his check every week to pay bills and buy groceries.
Major purchases (cars, furniture) came from the accounts.
I handle the finances.

agreed. income should be based on salary. So if the husband makes 60 percent of the income, then he should pay 60 percent of the bills.
We tried 50/50 and it did not work out well. We run a percentage of our incomes into a multiple joint savings and checking accounts to cover all bills. This way we both have our own separate checking and saving accounts and can buy what we want when we want it.
