[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry hon. You have no right to his money. Have him pay 1/2 the bills ... You pay the other 1/2 and move on.[/quote]

[b]Suzy Orman suggests a split based on percent.
If you make 60K and your husband makes 40K, you should pay 60% of the household bills and DH shoudl pay 40[/b]%[/quote]

Should we factor in that my DH pays all the health insurance premiums for the family as part of his contribution?  I am trying to figure this out.  He says that once he takes out taxes, retirements, health insurance, life insurance, dental insurance, etc. his net and mine are about the same.  So, in this case is the split more like 50/50?

Yes, I'd split 50/50. We have the sme situation - I pay health insurance and we split expenses based on net income. [/quote]

We also have separate accounts.  DH has a higher income, and pays the health insurance from his.  I pay the DCA and FSA accounts from mine, which about equals the health insurance.  We split the bills down the middle and both put equal amounts into a joint account that pays for vacations, daycare, and kid stuff.  We each pay our own student loans. DH ends up having more "leftover" each month than I do but it all works out.  We'll probably combine accounts at some point, just havent gotten there yet. [/quote]
