Happy Face 29 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Going halfs in a restaurant man. wtf. Don't think my other half has ever paid for a meal or drink, from our first date. Sometimes traditional gender roles are a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 My net income was that much higher than my partners (around 4 times higher!) and because I had a lot savings in the various accounts before I met her, I wasnt that keen to give her access to it all! I think we are going to go back this year as now she earns a lot more its probably easier. We have the added complication of paying taxes retrospectively each year too, I think a joint account probably simplifies it all nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34198 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Let's face it, she's not with you for your looks. I'd give her access sharpish if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 So in summary, a few people actually put all their wages into the same account and just spend as they wish. The rest put a fair amount into the same account and keep their own accounts for their own thing. I have to make the choice between these two basically.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I can't imagine my kid thinking dad earns more and keeps what he earns to himself once the bills have been paid. Even if you earn so much more than the the other half, once there's a kid in the picture it hardly seems to make sense to hoard your cash, because if you do worry about splitting up she's gonna get half anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 My parents had separate accounts. You marry someone who owns 3 properties already and has a million in the bank, you dont walk out the marriage with half. I can imagine my kid thinking whatever she likes about whatever she likes too.

JawD 31 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 We have our own. I'm the higher earner and I pay nearly all the bills and she buys most of the stuff for the kids and house. Works well. We never even discuss money, never need to. If we eat out I always pay as I think I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 I pay for all the holidays, all meals, drinks etc and spend a load on the little one. I will also pay for her education too when she's old enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Surprising how many kept men are on here. My last three bitches have been a Psychiatrist, Barrister and Architect. I can't stand dopey women and I like the competition. The sex chemicals wear off after about a year so you need someone you can talk to...It's hard being an intellectual heavyweight innit...? What you don't want is some couch clinger who's blowing all the money on accesories. Edited July 16, 2013 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have loads of money (as you do) this stuff doesn't seem that critical and just do the easiest thing. It's when you go through bad times the money becomes a focal point.
