I think what you're doing is totally fine. My husband & I split the mortgage and I pay electric/water and he pays cable/gas. We take turns paying at the grocery store, but he usually pays when we go out to eat. We don't keep a strict schedule on who's turn it is to pay or what-not, we just do what we feel is fair. We currently don't have a joint account.

 

your korrekt

 

This sounds more like my relationship than any other examples.

 

i would prefer myself and my spouse (eff that "live in" drama) share a joint checking/savings and each could have personal checking where an agreed upon percentage of the total weekly (or bi-weekly) take home pay get deposited into.. shared emergency fund of an agreed upon minimum, and no credit cards.

oh, and thats with both parties working. any alterations would be handled case by case and upon mutual agreement.

 

do whatever works for you. in my situation, it really makes no difference who pays the bills and neither of us care. we only care that we pay the bills on time.

 

same here.

 

Its crazy that you spend a lot of time on a wedding site....

 

I've been married for 6 years. We've got a few joint accounts and I've got a couple of individual from before I got married. Her pay gets deposited into a joint savings. Mine goes into a checking to pay our bills, and whatever is left over goes into savings.

 

joint account to cover expenses. but i think a husband and wife should have their own accounts. i dont want myself or her taking out more then they put in. F that shit.

 

all of our money goes into one account, comes out of one account. neither of us spends much on personal stuffs, really its all there for groceries, gas, & bills.

but i think in the end, as long as the financial option you choose doesnt create any tension between the 2 of you, then it is the one you should stick with. as soon as money becomes a subject of contention, find out what you need to do to fix it.
