This is an interersting thread. In my house we spilt the bills 50/50 kinda like roomates
We have joint checking and savings account. All the household expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, etc. are paid with the household account. I am in charge of bills and I basically add the totals and divide it in half. The exception is the rent which I pay only a third of, because I carry our son on my health insurance
I don't know how I like the plan, my fiancee is clueless about the bills outside of what I tell him. When it comes to money I think that anybody should want to be informed about where there money is going, but he is like whatever. However next month he will make a comment like "I thouht I gave you the money for that", well hello if you would pay attention you would know. Whatever is left after we pay the bills and the savings is ours to do whatever. I have my money and he has his, so that part is cool. We do really treat things like his and hers but I can't think of a more realistic plan.
