Should couples combine their salaries, have joint bank accounts, or keep their financial affairs completely separate? People have been divided about this for years.
After moving in together recently, one couple agreed to split their joint expenses proportional to their incomes. The guy says he earns a lot more than his girlfriend, so he pays most of the monthly household costs. He’s still left with enough money to save, whereas she isn’t.
Now, she wants them to combine their incomes and split everything down the middle. He’s flat-out refused and is now being called selfish.
