re: How do you baws split expenses with the wife?

I pay all except her phone and car note. And student loan.

We're a one account couple. That said, having an "offshore account" with direct deposits from your own paycheck is never a bad idea.

Team Mabry over here. We both contribute...she makes more money but I ensure I pay my half. I haven’t pocketed a VA disability check in a while, but my mortgage is paid on time.

Ask your wife what she would like.




Do that.

tried the latter, where I'd take care of the outside and pay most bills, and she'd do all the indoor stuff like organizing, cleaning, laundry which takes more time.

That usually works for a few weeks, but eventually they'll slack off and only do the bare minimum of laundry.

Get you a better one.

We pool our money together, but We have three checking accounts. One for bills and main expenses and we each have our own spending money accounts. As for the chores, we share those too. The quicker stuff gets done, the quicker we can do the stuff we really want to do.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

I’m divorced so that wench has taken exactly half.

Wife and I just had this discussion tonight.

Essentially we pay all bills then disperse $$$ to savings and finally each of us get an equal allotment of play money. Leftovers go towards big events like travel and/or house upgrades

I make a good income but this is her first year out earning me. She is a Chemical Engineer

Wife pays mortgage, car, and garage. I pay everything else.
