[QUOTE="Euphoric One, post: 8833216, member: 66919"] Haha OK, I think I made her sound worse than she is. She is a logical person, not a complete looter, she just has an entitlement mentality [B]sometimes[/B]. Nothing that can't be remedied with a good talk. ha see above. I couldn't do the one account thing. Even when we're married, I want to do the %/household income + separate accounts split. I refuse to answer to another human being about how and what I spend my money on. If that means marriage issues, then I guess I'm not cut out for marriage. I think 80/20 is fair. 50/50 would be more than she makes per month :lol1: Yeah, I'm new school. Dual-income household and a fair split of the bills is a must. I couldn't deal with lip if I decide to buy a car or something out of "our" account. Mortgage. That is the only area where I thought there could have been a counterpoint to my logic; someone at her income level doesn't buy a house (well, a responsible human being doesn't at least), so I wanted to make sure I wasn't bogging her down too much with the house payment share. I think you still need to budget accordingly and responsibly, but both people obviously need to pay their share and both should be understanding if one gets laid off or misses work due to sickness. I wouldn't do the joint account for the reasons above though. Good Lord, enough of this marriage talk! :lol: I've seen it with precisely 100% of all my married friends and coworkers, but I still can't figure out why things change so much after marriage. It's just a piece of marriage and a tax break. :??: [/QUOTE]
