Re: Handling Finances?
How do you do it in a relationship? I have always been curious about it. Lets say if a girl makes as much as you ~ 300,000, works the same hours as you, then whats the best way to stay happy in a relationship?
I was of the idea of transparency in marriage is essential and that there should be a joint account where both spouses contribute to bills/savings etc.
But there is a girl I talked to with same earning potential as me, and she told me that she thinks man should take care of all the expenses! I asked if she would be contributing and she was like maybe some bills, not all, and she would be doing lots of shopping with her money! lol. She leaned more towards having separate accounts.
I am really not sure how I feel about this? Has anyone come across a similar situation? Are separate accounts better so we don’t have to be accountable to how/what money we spent? Just split the bills and savings while keeping the account separate?
I would be fine with that kind of arrangement. The way I would do it hypothetically would be to pay for the necessities and anything over and above she can cover with her own earnings.
