Real Answers for Life’s Money Challenges
My boyfriend and I have been together for years.
He wants to get married, but we both have concerns about money.
I make significantly more than him, and this bothers him.
What do you think would be the best way to combine finances?
But dont let me jump to conclusions and/or your defense right away.
Lets assume that your boyfriend is worried that he wont be able to contribute enough to your household expenses.
Sure, emotionally and physically, its 1 + 1.
But financially, youve got to work out the percentages.
Splitting your expenses half and half is just not going to work.
Ill give you an example.
Say you make $50,000 per year before taxes, and your boyfriend makes $25,000.
Together, you make $75,000 each year.
He makes one-third of that total, whereas you earn two-thirds of the total.
