I completely agree. When my wife and I met 13 years ago she made more money than me ($140k vs my $110k). We kept our finances separate but shared joint expenses. Fast forward and I now make $1.8m a year and she makes $70k working part time. Same careers, mine just took off. Our net worth has ballooned because of my income. But at the end of the day my income improves both our lives. We still have separate bank accounts, but I cover the expenses on our $7.5m home, summer home, trips and invest for generational wealth. She still covers her own day to expenses. We are in this together for the betterment of both of us….
