Want to know how different couples manage their finances. So far,
Boomer couples first mariage = one wallet to be shared
Younger couples have different ways ie. 50/50, proportionally, 1 wallet and "whatever we can pay"
Some even go as to buy their own food and split the fridge and pantry in half...???
I was planning on going proportionally in buying a property so that it is equal and making a joint account for joint expenses still contributing proportionally. I make 3 times my girlfriends salary (she is doing a doctorat 5yrs) therefore i pay 2/3rds and she pays 1/3rd.
As we're thinking on moving we're checking out condos and i could support the mortgage by myself and still live a very decent life.
Since we have the strongest couple i know i almost want to do that but the few people ive spoken to about it think its crazy talk and she should pay her share.
Both her and i could split the cashdown 50/50 or 33/66
Also how would we split the money/profit if we moved afterwards?
Whats your situation and how do you make it work?
How long have you been with the lady?
Any suggestions of what i should do?
I want to be equal but not get fucked...
