Hi, I am new here. Planning to get married next year. Would like to check how the bills are being splitted among the couple? As in should the guy pay for everything?
mine expenses are mainly and should be all will be paid by my HTB. reason being i have no savings and not earning enough. he have savings and some investment money. so far our bridal package and rings are gonna be paid by him.
like what astuetekitty and pinnpinn did. many do open joint acc and save the same amt every month. thats a very effective way i believe. but not gonna help much if the contribution is gonne b lil and yet the dates are very near. unless u can have a joint acc forhousing etc next time?
What if the lady is earning more? Should she contribute more then? I know some guys are not so comfortable with that idea though...for the lady to pay more... Sensitive issue.. Haiz..

i'm doing it pinnpinn's way, of having a joint account and contributing a percentage of your salary every month.. i am an advocate that whoever earns more should provide more, thus the percentage and not a fixed amount. it also means you earn more, you keep more money to yourself too! so it's really fair but we put in way more.. 10% i dunno what we can do with the money! maybe coz we're earning less too.. so it's 70-80%! also coz it's not just for wedding, but for ALL our joint expenses.. so we save all the remaining 20-30% / spend on our own stuff.
