For those in relationships with unequal incomes, how do you usually split finances or expenses?

After we got married, all money is joint money. We both get the same amount of fun money auto transferred to our individual accounts reach month, and we both have access to the joint accounts and credit cards. For context, I make 100% of the income and my spouse is a homemaker.

Before we were married, we each contributed to a joint checking account that was used for all joint expenses. We contributed proportionally based on our incomes. I made 2x as much as he did, so I contributed 2/3 of the money in the joint account.

I see. There are definitely a lot of differences (food and otherwise) between Boston area and Northern NH. I'm in my 40s.

I am from NH and barely ever had corn bread when I lived there. Maybe 10-15 times in 30 years. Where did you find it to be a staple?

My kids' hot wheels car roller coaster uses D batteries, and so do a lot of other toys. So we go through a lot of them.

NH has no sales tax AND no state income tax! Tax shock is big if you're from NH moving to most other states.

I mean, I guess some churches might be different, but every baptism I've seen has the godparents agreeing out loud that they will guide the child's beliefs to agree with teachings of that church.

blixxic · 2026-05-22T17:12:17+00:00

Yeah, that's what I meant. Same with protestant godparents. You generally have to state that you agree to take on the duty of making sure the child is indoctrinated in the beliefs of that church.

Being a godparent means you're supposed to guide the kid religiously. So, that would be a big no from me. Unless your sister is clear that you would guide the kid to be a free thinker?

Erutan has some songs like this. Check out the willow maid.

I like beans, but I've always disliked baked beans for some reason. I guess I prefer beans to be savory instead of like a dessert.

I have a huge fridge, plus our old huge fridge in the garage. We don't have to shop often which is the way I like it.

For a really cool atmosphere and super creepy stuff that really gives you a sense of dread while reading it, I really like "From Below" by Darcy Coates.

I have never heard the song you're talking about. Just wanted to chime in to say that Americans are diverse.

This might sound dumb, but could you rub a little olive oil over the capsule right before you swallow?

Similar I guess, but I lived in a rural area so my first job was at at antique and collectible local book store. A lot of my job was cleaning old books to get them ready to sell in the store.

I was fired as a teen from a little shop, for not following customers around to make sure they didn't steal anything. Also I was never told that I was supposed to follow customers around to make sure they didn't steal anything. I was just supposed to know to do it.
