    Hi Em, it would be easier if you could do your SOA as a joint effort, its difficult to advise otherwise
    I agree. If your finances are separate so that you don't know everything, then you should include the bills he pays and include the total for those as income too. But do please say if this is what you have done!

    I will have to wait until he gets home from work (works evenings) to get correct amounts from him. We worked our finances out so that I had a share of bills and he had a share of bills that worked out as much as we could afford for our own wages. He is in the same situation as me, it's only because these bills are in my name and the others are in his name that I thought doing them seperately was easier to get advice to ease my own situation for my bills etc. Its not like my husband is rolling in it and Im left struggling believe me, he foots the majority share of our bills and is in a dire situation too.
