You work that out with your partner. We can't dictate that for you guys.

If you're doing a trad relationship (and are marrying a female) then yeah, you own 100% of it in the beginning. After the kids are into school, she can start contributing, but it's still your responsibility. So you don't rely on her income.

If you're doing a modern relationship, it's 50/50. Regardless of income. Don't let people manipulate you into thinking you have to pay extra because you make extra. That's not what equality is. Keep separate bank accounts, and you guys both contribute the exact same dollar amount every month. And figure out your living situation based on that. If you can't find a woman to agree to this (or the trad marriage) you're being taken advantage of.

That's between you and your fiancee. How much do you earn? How much does she earn? My recommendation is that you calculate all joint expenses --- housing, food, utilities, entertainment, travel, etc. and then divide those expenses in a way that you both can agree is fair. Each of you contributes that amount to a joint account via direct deposit. The rest goes into your individual accounts to be spent as you please.

You can do it any way you want but usually both people's pay is deposited into one account and bills are paid out of that.

Whatever works for the couple. My husband pays the rent while I pay for everything else.

You are a man. You must cover all the expenses of marriage like a man.

[Maybeyoutoo]

The man is the one who makes the money, right?

[Maybeyoutoo]

Men make money and women stay home. Unless you're a crazy leftist, you know that, man. God bless you.
