We combine everything. I’m a financial advisor and I’ve never seen a truly happy couple who keeps their asset separate. A happy marriage is like the foundation of a house and money is what usually causes cracks.

All income goes to our joint account. There is no his or mine. It's ours.

I do $1M per year and my wife $40k. I didn’t get married for the money and she either. We are a family and think as one. It is really dumb and it is psychological pressure to ask your partner to divide expenses. Insane people are even thinking about that if you are a family.

Based on each person’s income. Equally doesn’t make sense when one earns $150k and the other makes $75k

Equally

What’s mine is mine, and what’s his is also mine. He don’t have this womb, he doesn’t have to give birth, shave his legs and worry when he walks home alone at night. Add to that, he can barely do anymore than I can do. It’s like living with a grown child. Can’t fix anything if his life depended on it. If you don’t bring anything to the table but cash, I’ll take it.

If you think of him in this way why did you get married?

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!

I am in a long distance relationship with someone who is currently in B school. He spends pretty much all his breaks and holidays traveling with his classmates. Most of the time I am fine. But for some important holidays and my birthday, I told him we should spend time together. He just said it’s more important for him to bond with his classmates and ignore my ask. It’s really disappointing and I don’t know what else to tell him. Is that a reasonable ask or am I being dramatic?

Been having trouble moving on since girlfriend ended relationship 3 weeks ago after 2+ years of dating. Before ending it she came over 3 weeks prior to basically give me a chance to work things out and we had a good discussion but then I went back into our routine and didn’t really fight for it or have serious follow up convos that we needed. Now I just have so many regrets that I let her go. I know we still love each other and left on “good” terms but can’t forgive myself for my lack of action.
