Date: May 23rd, 2007 3:17 PM Author: Stimulating lime public bath stain 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.

Date: May 23rd, 2007 3:19 PM Author: Topaz native I think it's still doable. Separate accounts doesn't necessarily mean that all expenses are split 50/50. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=635707&forum_id=2#8158127) |

Date: May 23rd, 2007 3:26 PM Author: Gaped Mahogany Gay Wizard Useless Brakes titcr. both parties contributing equal % by income for housing, food, other expenses is clearly the only way to go. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=635707&forum_id=2#8158179) |

Date: May 23rd, 2007 4:02 PM Author: Topaz native 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. |

Date: May 23rd, 2007 4:14 PM Author: Topaz native 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.
