[quote=Anonymous]I make $300, DH makes $125. It all goes in the same pot. The only reason the disparity makes any difference is that we tried to peg our ability to pay mortgage to the lower salary only, since it's more stable. In practice that just means we save/invest more than if we'd pegged it to my salary, not that I personally have more money. If we ever had arguments about money we'd introduce equal amounts of "no questions asked" fun money for each of us. But any set up where one partner has a better standard of living or more money to spend than the other isn't a true partnership in my eyes. [/quote]
