Re: I think I’m a horrible person…
If they pay bills with both their earnings from their joint account.. w.e is left will be both of theirs and not just hers or hubby’s. They don’t have to put all their money in one account… only enough to pay bills and meet their saving goals. Hubby and I put the same amount each month even if one earns more than the other and we are free to do w.e we have left over. I chose to save mine and hubby chooses to give his away. However, it leaves little room for him to give our combined savings away. We decide together what we do with it. If my mom needs money, I can give it to her from my personal money and if his family does, he does the same thing. If he has none because he chooses to give them money every month than I don’t feel bad saying no because he has met his obligations already and he has other siblings who need to pitch in too.
It used to be way different when we first got married. We were always struggling while his family members kept asking for money to buy new cars, fancy clothes, etc all the time and go to paki every year.
yes…in theory this works well…
