If you and your woman are living in a household together....

[JasonSJackson]

both working similiarly paying jobs.....

how are you breaking down the bills?

and to the 2 women that still post here....how would you like the bill break down to be?

 

[Diondon]

If you aint married, I don't suggest commingling yall funds like that
Open a checking account for paying bills
Decide for both to deposit an amount monthly
And it doesn't matter who writes the check really

we split the mortgage and utilities straight down the middle....i pay the cable bill...she pays the water bill....we split the groceries.....everything works out....

Me and mr split everything down the middle. Rent and utilities and other expenses.

50/50 for household bills
Each pay their own personal expenses if it goes over the mutual budget (if he/I spends more of the allocated money on shopping, if one of our cell phone bills is more than usual, then the person who goes over puts more in).

What do you mean one cell phone bill is more than the other?
Why wouldn't you just have separate contracts?

Family contracts = 1 account.
1 account = easy for one person to log in and see phone/text history....You see where I'm going with this...

Well, my phone bill is $700 this month...so, yah...if he wants to pay for that, go ahead.

Before we got married we split it by salary.

Once we got engaged we just one bank account, been rocking that way since.

That trip wasn't cheap at all.

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you said you'd split the cell phone bill depending on whose portion of the bill was higher.

My thing is...just have separate contracts and pay your own phones separately.

She pays for everything or I kick her out

Nope! I'm going to get it down though - I always call and complain and they reduce it.

You did misunderstand. People have separate phone numbers. If I go over by a lot on my number, then that means I wasn't careful and within budget so I should have to pay the difference, and vice versa.

split down the middle....we have a joint expense account for all things "home" and deposit $$ to the account every paycheque; each have our own personal chequing, savings, VISA, etc...
