[quote=Anonymous]It's one thing to split expenses if your incomes are roughly close to one another, but I can't fathom splitting expenses when one spouse makes $800K or more (which OP's husband must, as I can't imagine she herself makes less than $40K). Even if you don't live commensurate with the higher salary, there is a LOT of middle ground there. Our HHI is around $180K. If we started making $800K or more we wouldn't spend all of it, but certainly our lifestyles would change significantly. I have to admit that I would resent my DH for keeping such a huge amount of money to himself without sharing it with me, not because I want a BMW and diamonds, but because it can make life so much easier and less stressful. I'm so glad I'm in a marriage where we keep each otjwr's best interests at heart. It doesn't sound like OP is in that situation and that's a shame. [/quote]
