[quote=Anonymous]My wife and I have pooled money from the start. I was making good money while she was finishing grad school and making nothing, and now she probably makes 30% more than I do. I view marriage as a partnership, and pooling the financial resources makes sense for us. Of course we both make good salaries so that probably mitigates any possible issues some. This has been working for 20 years. It just doesn't seem at all reasonable that his share of the household expenses are the same as yours if he makes so much more money. Personally I think you should split based on the relative size of the salaries; I.e. he would pick up 90% of the costs or so. If he really makes 20x what you're making, even if you're making minimum wage that's pretty good money.[/quote]
