If a husband earns average and wants to spend 50% of his salary on the household expense and wants to save 50%, but only 50% of his income can’t meet all house expenses so he wants the wife to contribute for the rest. Does this sound okay because if he chose not to save 50% of his income then he can easily take care of all the expenses by his income alone.

This really depends on the income difference and what’s happening to the savings. If there is income disparity then it’s not fair to the wife to have no savings left for her own usage. I’ve seen wives who have husbands who go out golfing and on solo vacations while wives can’t afford anything else because they split 50/50. The better way is to split via percentages of salary so couple can split 40/60 to accommodate for salary differences. Also if the savings are not going into a joint savings account then nope. Would not be interested in the savings going for a fancy new car or something. Also at 50/50 if everything needs to be equal then that includes house hold chores and child care.
