I'd say 50% each on the bills then any extra you can spare into savings then some left over for yourselves.
Or just pool everything together like me and my fiancee do?Some people feel the rain...others just get wet0 -
I earn twice as much as OH, but we chuck it all in a pot. Our spends (currently £15 a week) gets transferred every friday. Everything else is for bills, and paying debts (in future will be for saving). This way no one person 'pays' fpr one thing, ie tv licence/rent.0
