[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no reason to involve the ex. If you can do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, you can pay your bills. What is the big mystery here? You have X coming in each month; you owe Y out each month. Those are your fixed expenses. Everything else is discretionary spending. Work it out. You will feel empowered once you do it once or twice. [/quote] If OP moved out, the ex is not really necessary but might be helpful. If the ex moved out then the ex's help would be more useful for household type bills like the cable, gas/electric, water, etc. Otherwise she'd have to deal with all the utility companies on her own and that will be time-consuming. Also I don't know how bills were shared, if everyone just put $$$ in a common account, if OP cut the ex a check every month or what. I'm not talking about the ex handling things like "opening a checking account" that OP should be able to do on her own.[/quote]
