[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you. My career has definitely been dialed back, moreso by my own failings early on, not because his was so demanding. I do/did, however, do almost everything around the house because of how demanding his job was. But, it’s not much if i’m being honest. No kids, condo isn’t huge, etc. 
All of our finances are combined, and we’re both on the mortgage/ deed. So we’re both contributing, but obviously very different amounts.

What I think is fair is a 70/30 split of our bank accounts.  If we’re doing the math, I make 22% of what he makes, so in my mind, 22% of the savings/checking seems fair. I tacked on another 8% to round it out because of all the damn stress (I know that isn’t a good reason).

But then there’s also the large question of the condo. That could be another $200k coming in, but did I contribute to the down payment? Barely. Again, combined finances but it was mostly money that he had saved for a while.

I think your 30% reasoning for the savings accumulated during the marriage sounds reasonable. For the condo, I thing get out what you put into equity plus appreciation. [/quote]

Wrong math BTW. Your 88k is 18% of the 488k total.  Sorry OP. You should’ve looked under the hood of your golden ticket.[/quote]
