We both put 75% of our paychecks into joint accts (Checking/savings/investments ect) . All bills, mortgages, dates (I vaguely remember what those were precovid times) come out of the joint accts .

The other 25 is for us to use however. That said we're still mindful how we spend that money. I wouldnt go buy a 3K worth of electronics w out giving her a heads up, and she never would buy an expensive dress without doing the same

That calculus might have to change when we have kids but it works for us right now.

This is why I'd never share a bank account with someone. Got to ask permission before you buy something like a teenager. If you want new house, car or to take a vacation you got to ask for permission. I can't do it.

Is it me or does the black community have this conversation every week?

The corny thing about this convo is that people act like they ain’t speak about it the last 10 weeks it was bright up.

Anyway in reality relationships work out on agreements. If the chick wants all the bills paid then move on and find a chick who is ok with splitting bills. Yes they do exist
No idea why nikkas continue to entertain this type of ho babble.

By now its obvious not every woman thinks like these birds.

Find a woman that is cool with how you want to operate financially. No issues

It's not asking permission It's being respectful to your significant other. If I wanted to buy a new laptop or sound system ect, Im gonna let her know. It' just part of being in a healthy relationship / marriage :yeshrug:

my most recent relationship had the approach of same % of income goes to bills. So if person A made 75k and person B made 50k, in total we bring in 125k. So A makes 60% of the total and B makes 40% of the total funds brought in.

So if we had $2800 in shared monthly bills, we'd split that. Person A would pay $1,680, person B would pay $1,120.

Person A: 26.8% of monthly income before taxes
Person B: 26.8% of monthly income before taxes

We'd split everything else 50/50

If you’re married, every large purchase you make affects the entire household. So at the very least you should be giving them a heads up. Just because they don’t agree doesn’t mean you can’t buy it, but at least you know where they stand. Then you can evaluate if it’s worth it to make the purchase. My wife didn’t think I needed to buy a new tv. But I wanted for my personal space, so I bought it. This is especially true if it’s a purchase that needs to be financed. If for some reason you can’t make/finish payments, guess who’s responsible... yep, your spouse.

I work she doesn't,so yes I pay all of the bills. It is a mans job to provide after all. If your woman is working and paying her own bills you share her with the white man. It will take a psycological toll on her subconscience. She will see the European as her provider and protector. Black men are basically allowing the white man to make Indecent Proposals right to our face.


Not judging if you need to do it temporarily for some reason or the other. But it shouldn't be a permanant situation imo.

My g, the comments.... talking bout "he need to holla at me in my cashap for me to even entertain him and he need to pay all my bills or he aint a real man"

I'm looking at it like bruh :dwillhuh: these new social media twitter women are really trash and do not give a fukk about us whatsoever. What sane man would want to take on a burden like that?

The joke is I make good money but I like to come off as a bum to keep these types away.

If I find another good woman in the future who actually gives a fukk about me and not just what I can do for her then I might entertain her. For now I'm chilling.
There was a post in a facebook travel group about who's paying on a vacation. So many sucker ass men jumping in there talking about "any woman going on vacation with me isn't touching her purse" and a bunch of women talking about they ain't even going on vacation with no man if she has to pay for anything smh.

My post basically said that we're both getting to enjoy the location and sites so why the fukk would I be the only one paying. Some responded that I must not want any p*ssy on vacation. I responded that she'll be missing out on this dikk. Sex ain't a one-sided affair despite the way women try to portray that shyt.
