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.

Well if the savings are going to a joint savings account, then I don’t see the problem. It’s stupid for a couple not have money saved for FAMILY emergencies (health issues, 1 person loses job etc.). I don’t see what difference it makes where the money comes from because I see all money as belonging to the couple as a unit. As long as the couple understands that the savings are meant for BOTH of them for emergencies/retirement etc., then I don’t see any issues this the scenario mentioned above.
