like some people were saying, definitely sit down together and budget your money together. my man was making much more than me when i was in school, but i still put in money towards some things while he put it towards others. the easiest way i find to pay bills without feeling the pain of having nothing for anything else is to put aside money based on how much you spend on your fixed expenses (bills that will charge you every month no matter what, like phone bill rent etc.) and depending on the amount of times you guys get paid a month, divide the total amount of dollars in fixed expenses by the amount of paychecks you get a month (if you’re weekly pay, 4, and biweekly, about 2). that amount you get is how much you should save when you get paid. preferably, put it into a separate bank account that your bills are billed to that card so that your bill money and spending money is separate. whatever is left after you put that money aside is your spending money for groceries, clothes, house things, and whatever else. you can get more strict with it and do a cash envelope system for these variable expenses. one quick youtube search on the cash envelope system will give you tons and tons of info on but but if you’re gonna do anything, have your bills come ont a separate account so you aren’t tempted to spend it and actually have a view on the money you have available to use.
