re: Question about relationships, economic advantage of one party, and chores

At your rate of overthinking, you'll never marry.

i think a joint contribution account and separate accounts is the most successful way to go

I think this is probably the best practice under a wide variety of circumstances:

1. One or both parties have sufficient family/outside resources to justify a separate property regime (then almost mandatory)

2. 2nd or more marriage/long-term relationship of either/both.

3. Marrying later in life (say, after mid-30s)


But, 2 stupid kids who don't have shite when they get married? Your suggestion is almost certain to sew the seeds of the doom of that relationship later.
