Joint & Separate spending accounts are great! Alongside joint expense planning. I love it! Budgeting is my favorite thing to do and planning major expenses for 2-3 years

Currently my boyfriend and I do a 50/50 split into a joint account for everything but cars, debt, and spending. We save towards the same goals but I save in cash and he is completely a card user. So far its working for us but we love revisiting plans often (actually right before each paycheck lol)

Skilled Finances Jewels Thank you for airing out options for couples finances. Conversations is the beginning of all things, there is no teamwork without communication. I loved the putting all incomes together, it really matches the declaration of marriage: two shall become one, they are no longer two but one. Money shouldn’t separate us. Thank you our SFJewels ❤

This is a great video!! Thanks for this. My partner and I are planning to stay together in about a year, we have been together for 3 years but are young and still have so much to learn about ourselves and each other. I think that I would initially like to keep things separate and just work together to make sure we are paying our bills and then set aside a budget for saving for a home together that way we can both learn as we go.

Combining short term expenditures is all good. But long term thinking such as retirement planning. Investing planning. Its very hard when your other half has no clue and even worse no interest. How can you plan when mentally you are on different spectrums of knowledge.

My boyfriend and I have been doing the 50/50 split for about a year now, but I just got a job where I make a lot more than him. Before now I'd been making less, but because my parents always had a " joint money mindset" as you said, I didn't mind so much. But now that I'm making quite a bit more than him maybe the income-driven split would work better for us, especially since we are not ready to get a joint bank account yet.

My girlfriend earns 3x times my salary... we do a 50/50 splits because it's fair, but it drains me financially, and I end up living cheque to cheque trying to keeping up. If i was earning more as a man, it would've been easier to take care of her & things, but in reality she earns more. So it would feel weird to ask her as woman to handle little more things. I wonder how couples in my situation handle things

The beauty with Couples Finances is that there are various ways to manage finances. If the 50/50 split works, then that's great. If it doesn't then the couple can discuss other ways in which they can manage their money and go with what works for their relationship.

The greatest empowerment every woman should have is being empowered financially and mentally. This way you will be at the top of your food chain. Being finally free is one thing every woman should be looking after. I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly basis via my investment and got 5 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made. Great video! Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring! I love this.

I have a question: I moved in with my partner. He did not want to redecorate from the previous owners of this rental home. As joint rental owner I have to pay single-handedly for decorating to a 2000 style instead of 1975. Next to this he wants to go 50/50 if we go out. I make suggestions to pay for the meal and the public transport. This makes the 50/50 rule slightly change to 48/52. He has a problem with the cost of the bus. I am not forced to pay for all to avoid his complaining. He is turning into a complaining hormit. What tips have you for me?

Well, as for the decoration problem, if you plan to not live long in that home maybe really no need to spend money on it? Or to do the very critical parts of home only. About money problem lets go back to our roots... So men were the hunters and the providers of home ALWAYS until the last decade or two when moral and family values got devastated in society.... and that's the way a real man should think! Once Steve Harvey, reacting to a man's wish to split the meal on the first date, told: "If the man can't provide you with a plate of meal on the first date then how you expect that he'll provide for a family?" And for me its not about the first date only... A man should be caring, expecially emotionally, with open heart and packet, considering the woman is wise, you have same life and family values and goals and treatment to money... You subconciously offered him to be the "provider" of the home with 48/52 but he refused to be, prefering to be cheap but wealthy for just 2%! So its better to gain self confidence and leave, while you're young and no children. He will always find something to complain about.

I don’t understand the second way of splitting the income. Can you elaborate? Do we divide our income with the total expenses or our own expenses?
@wealthwithlove
7 ай бұрын
The second style is called the Income Split Style and it focuses on splitting shared expenses (for example rent/mortgage, utilities, groceries - basically any expenses or bills that are shared)based on how much each person earns rather than 50/50. For example let’s say the total shared expenses came up to 2000. One person in the relationship earns 2500 and the other earns 1500, the total household income would be 4000. Person A earns 63% of the total income and Person B earns 37%. The shared expenses would then be split according to those percentages. We do have a Couples Money Course which breaks this down. It can be found at course.skilledfinances.com

@@wealthwithlove I was thinking this is the way that will work for my boyfriend and for me, however, I do not see the 'debts that each one has compared to the other considered as a factor. Let's say an example: Person A makes 10K a month and person B makes 4K a month. But person A has student loans and debts that are only from person A and person B is almost debt-free. so it would be fair to consider person A income before deducting their personal debts correct? In simple words: before adding up the incomes we have to subtract the personal debts of each one correct? then get the percentage and then get how much each one will pay into the common expenses (rent, utilities, groceries etc) correct?

My boy friend wants to pay 65 % and wants me to do 35% but its does not really feel as the provider mindset, we split the groceries but when we go out he pays the most. In the household i do the most. Maybe this is all good, i dunno.

It's important for Couples who don't combine their finances to sit down and have an honest and frank discussion about how everything will work financially if for example they have a baby or one of them gets sick or one of them decides to go to school as you mentioned above. It's important to be on the same page about this.

What if you and your partner earn the same amount of money and your expenses are the combination of both the incomes but your partner tells you to be a man and take the responsibility of everything and the baby. Her savings are more than yours but should you throw all your savings in and try to be a man and take full responsibility for everything?

If y'all know yourselves, and you know you both aren't traditional or want to adhere to traditional gender roles, be modern w the relationship via splitting bills and house duties, which tbh can be an ethical means to going about things. Now, in saying all that...umm, yea, most women don't give a shit about rationals or ethics when their emotions are involved. By the looks of the thumbnail for this video (that I'd be willing to bet she made lol), mate she doesn't look too happy about this setup. - Dude in the comments
