Hey y’all. In need of advice. My husband and I make the same salary, however, he makes overtime and I don’t. So technically that means he makes more than I do. Should I have him contribute more to the savings or bills if I do more of the housework?

Sounds like a conversation you should have with him, not a bunch of nerds online.

For what it’s worth, when I (~180k year)was working 70-80 hours, my wife (100k/year) did more of the housework, when she’s works 60+ hours and is very busy, I do it. If we both are working that, we agree to pay for a cleaner for a week or two.

Incomes dont realllllyyy come into it for us. We treat our incomes as a bucket and we treat our responsibilities as a bucket, and we just get through them together.

Open an OF account, make more bucks, make husband your bit**. Problem solved 😎

I don’t understand the line of thinking here. You make the same amount, unless he works more hours and then he makes more, and if he works more then you should pay less towards bills? That doesn’t make sense.

Why do you do your own housework? Hire someone

Just ask for help with the house work

In my household I earn the majority of the household income by some margin. I pay all the bills mortgage, TV subs, Electric gas, holidays, savings, the only thing my partner pays for is the food. She keeps her salary for herself. I can afford to do this but appreciate not everyone is in the same situation. You just have to lay the ground rules for this sort of thing.

Money has nothing to do with it.

Better stay single if one have such thoughts.
