[quote=Anonymous]We discuss house bills at the beginning of every year. We list out what we need to pay - mortgage, subscriptions, car, etc. We budget how much we should spend on groceries per week and how much to put away each month for savings. This year we added daycare costs. We then come up with a total amount and then discuss what’s fair amount that each should contribute. We make about the same so we contribute the same to a joint checking/savings account. Part of our pay gets direct deposited to that account and we pay house/family expenses from that account. We each have our own checking/savings/credit card that we handle individually. [/quote]
