most marriages tend to have shitty handlings on finances. separate accounts seems like an obvious choice to avoid a lot of problems. the only shitty thing would be if one party makes 3x more than the other and wants to do more extravagent things.

I think it's still doable. Separate accounts doesn't necessarily mean that all expenses are split 50/50.

titcr. both parties contributing equal % by income for housing, food, other expenses is clearly the only way to go.

I didn't quite mean it like that. Formulas of that nature would be hard to work out. What I meant was more that if you have someone who's both rich and who'd love to go to Paris, and someone who's poor and has little interest in travel, the rich person can certainly pick up the tab.

I don't think proportional is always the right answer either, depends on the situation.

We both put 50% of household expenses into a joint account, then keep the rest in our own accounts. It's worked pretty well for 9 years. We haven't had a single money fight yet.

That always struck me as a nice arrangement, especially when people have fairly equal incomes. There's something to be said for having a little money you can spend on shoes or sports pools without someone else telling you how dumb your tastes are.

I disagree. I think you should mix everything, from bodily fluids to finances to the bathroom sink space, before getting married.
