I don't disagree, but there's a wide range on where couples may set that cuttoff. At different points in my marriage a $200 splurge would have ranged from a "WTF did you just do?" to "Ok, whatever".

No

I was unaware you were both now engaged. Congrats!

Combined. Anything else is more work and seems pointless imo. My parents have this weird set up where my mom has a separate account "slush" fund or whatever but my dad doesn't. It's always seemed wierd to me. The idea I think is so he can't complain if she spends the money but I don't think he complains for real much and he can just complain about the account instead anyway.

This is a relic from a bygone time where women were expected to stay at home so if their partner got "fresh" she had the means to leave him and wouldn't be stuck in an abusive relationship because it was financially untenable for her to leave.

Luckily for our generation the patriarchy is dead because women are strong and financially independent and men no longer control 100% of the household assets by default so our generations females don't need to adapt such tactics

Yeah, I guess, but I don't think there was enough for that purpose. Of course, no one but her ever knew/knows lol.

We basically consider it 'our money', but both have separate accounts for stuff. I pay certain bills, she pays certain bills. Never had an argument about money, never will.

If she wants something, she buys it. If I want something, I buy it. I find anything else, esp situations where one adult must get permission from another adult, quite odd.


And also, this:

"Females" is not the preferred nomenclature, dude. Sharpen up or the wokerati might realize you're an MRA in antifa clothing.

*persons who identify as non-cis-male

Pretty much this, with the caveat that significant financial expenditures should be discussed beforehand and your partner doesn't have a spending problem in general (although the latter can be easily solved by not marrying someone with a spending problem).

Still no

aiott shockingly not woke

How do you hide things from your spouse with combined finances? Do you just lie? What if they're a miserly **** and you wanna drop dimes on golf clubs for them? Seems the most appropriate reason. Then again just max the CC and hope they never check their statements? I dunno. I probably have spent too much time speculating on this, when in reality its just easier to use separate finances as a way to insulate against white collar fraud.

Then again the first requires a significant degree of the trust, while the latter is probably the level of trust that marriage is suppose to require.

In other news, someone posts photo of them on a C2. Decent time for middle aged bro who is happy to start working out. (2:16 splits on 7km) Damper set to 10 tho. smh.

Completely combined finances here.

I handle pretty much all the money stuff. Budgets, bills, savings, etc. so basically she transfers her entire salary to me every month.

I actually worried that she was going to think this was like some weird chauvinistic thing, but she appears to literally not care. It probably helps that we're not big spenders on discretionary items anyway (my biggest leak is clearly alcohol - but who's isn't?), and on the occasion we "blow $200 on a haircut", fancy lad dinner, hookers, blow, etc. we're either doing it together or showing it off to the other party anyway. And we both probably have a similar "feel" to the sort of range of discretionary spend that might raise the eyebrows of the other party and would probably be better to discuss first.

I also made sure she has all the access to all the accounts, so she can actually see the transaction records from everything. And I even occasionally sit her down and say "look. this is what we spent\spend money on"... but she really doesn't seem too interested.

We do have a couple friends who have split finances very similar to villans in OP.

I wouldn't say they ever quibble about it in front of us, but they'll sometimes say things like "X has to pay for this one because I paid for the last one". When they first moved in together, one of them owned the apartment and charged the other one rent... but to be fair, that situation didn't last long... although it turned into a bit of a "X buys\pays for this for the apartment, but Y owns the apartment, so it's even".

In terms of strength of the relationship, one of them rampantly cheats on the other, and apparently that party is oblivious to the fact despite it being a well known "secret" in our wider group of friends... sooo... ymmv I guess.

Late response, but I have no idea what medication dude bro was on. Doesn't seem like an even luke-warm take to me, unless he was "on" ibuprofen twice a week.

Yup. Though 3-4 perfectly boiled eggs (in my case, whites juuuust set) with good breads, a French speciality spread (fish eggs based, pretty weird and pretty gross to most non-French I would assume) and a glass of cold milk is my go-to.

Though Ramsay scrambled eggs, portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and bacon may be the nuts.



This is what I've always done and what I'll imagine we'll continue to do after buying a house together + adding player 3, only with a higher % to the joint account. As long as the joint account is big enough there's never been an issue.

I don't even C2, but bolded seems completely standard for noobs/90% of the general gym population no?

Vice news penned an article titled "The vegas Shooter didn't kill people because he was on anti-anxiety meds" which as far as I'm concerned is a slamdunk that the absolute truth is "The vegas shooter would not have killed people if he was not on anti-anxiety meds' because that news organization is the opposite of truth and I'd take CNN or CNBC over them on anything over them every god dman day.,

Soulbro,

I do on occasion and have never seen one not set on 10. If you're xfitting, you should play with the settings to see what gets you the best times. If you wanna train for rowing, you should configure it to be similar to water. If you're a mouth breather, smash that ****er on 10 and pretend you're rowing in slime.

I'm going to need a citation on this. I won't accept anything from a Journal less reputable than Jezebel.

Ok, **** it. Build the wall. Build the Star Wars Nuclear Defense Shield. Keep them all out. This fish egg bread getting into USA#1 I will not abide.

Muahaha, our fishing boats will dodge all your silly walls and FORCE egg fish spread breads down your throats!

AIOTT,

Here's a recharge for your woke-ometer:

What does your other (real?) dad do with his accounts?

wat?

He is implying your "father" is a cuckold and raising another man's child.
