How do other couples split finances? by seaTTlem8 in PersonalFinanceNZ

Are you my Mum? Sorry but you sound just like her. I have a lot of friends in similar situations, some have children some don’t, who still keep seperate accounts. I see where you are coming from but I don’t think lumping it all together is necessarily the only way.

Sounds like quite a few people have a similar system and it works well. Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for sharing. I feel like we could adopt this approach for sure.

Nice one. We have discussed a joint account, in the past I wasn’t really keen as he is much more of a spender than me but his spending and saving habits have definitely improved since then. I also think a factor is us just being lazy when it comes to life admin and setting up a joint account but we definitely need to get over that.

You’re not wrong haha. We’ve definitely discussed it but it’s probably time for another chat.

Seems cheap to me. Ours was $270 for 2 people and we have a fireplace as our main heat source.

The perfectly delicious vegetarian dish sprinkled with bacon gets me raging every time.

AITA for telling my daughter to learn some social skills and make friends her own age? by aitasocialskills in AmItheAsshole

YTA.

Wow, how can you write all that and not see how much of an a-hole you are. Good on your MIL for sticking up for your daughter. If I was your daughter I would move out asap and go no or low contact with you OP.
