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

My husband pays all the bills, except for car insurance (added him to my policy) and my car note, phone, etc. Since I moved into his house, everything was already established in his name. I transfer a set amount of money to him each month because I feel weird about him paying everything. He sticks “my” money into savings. I’m more of a spender, so I appreciate that he’s better at saving. We both buy groceries pretty equally, and run it past each other if we’re buying something more than a couple hundred.

This is basically what me and my wife do and it works for us. She just pays me the difference of bills plus expenses per month and I put it all into savings.

Thought about joint accounts but she doesnt really have a whole lot of input on our finances so figured whats the point. I dont care to know what she is spending her money on as long as she is giving me a certain amount monthly.
