So it's that time to "officially" move in together. How do you come up with who pays for what and who does what this type of thing? What is the best way to go about that?
It may be too early for me, sorry if my brain isn't functioning at full speed yet

Providing you both can afford it, just split the bill's down the line. I wish you the best of luck.

when my daughter and her boyfriend moved into together they set up a house account in both their names, they kept their own accounts as well. For the house account, they made a budget and at that time, they both put in equal amounts and anything that was house bills was paid out of the account. they also created a house savings account that they each put the same amount into each month in case they needed something extra. it took both signatures to take money out at the bank, and they each had on line access to both accounts. at the time, they each made about the same amount. they have always had excellent communication...and still do after 10 years together and five years of marriage. I think that the communication is the key here....talk about it and come to a mutual agreement and then talk about it!! Good Luck and enjoy! |

You are welcome. My daughter really liked doing things that way because then she knew that she had put the money in the account and it was easier to track how much "extra" money she had for things she wanted... and it provided a quick record of bill payments too! |

You'll need to have three bank accounts. One belongs to you, one to your SO and one the two of you have together. In this last account you should each put in the same % of your pay. For example one of you may make $500 a week and the other makes $350. So one might put in $250 a week and the other $175. Or 50% of each paycheak. Use this account to pay all the bills you have together and use the other accounts to pay for your personal needs like clothes.

He cleaned my account out, and ran up my cards. |

Hummmmm split it all down the middle. Myself have always lived by myself kind of like it that way.
But even when I was married I always had my own checking account and we split up the bills then. That way no one felt like they were working their azzs off while the other one blew the money what we had left we spent like we wanted too.

It depends, if you split things down the middle and one person ends up with nothing left after the bills and the other has a spare thousand, then things arent really working fairly. If you are living with someone you should be loving them too, and it really shouldnt matter who spends how much, just as long as nobody is being taken for granted.
