50/50 is not for married couple. Men are built physically to work hard, women are for nurturing and caring. Also women hormones changes every month, she's more stressed and emotionally challenging for her, which is not the same for men.

The problem is though, if you as a woman start living with a man on 50/50 agreement as a "start" kind of thing, do not expect him to change this agreement favoring you later on. Most men do not change 50/50 to something else. They get comfortable with paying only their share and that's it. And women on the other hand, will with time fall in love more and grow attachment to this man which will become a reason not to leave him and agree to continue 50/50 with him. Most women hate 50/50 relationship. I haven't met even one that would feel otherwise about it.

Hate how this splitting bills has gotten trivalised in our community. I'm male and know how to cook, clean, DIY, laundry, zero debt, 800+ credit score, etc. If a partner was pregnant, I know to pay everything, take care of her and so. Periods she can work, I expect her to be able to support so we can give our children a safe, great environment and support to grow to be wonderful adults.

Hopefully, there are decent men out there who don't take the piss because it reads like women don't even want to support or contribute to their families or think they should stay at home because sex or attractive when house prices are 25* our salaries. Be realistic please, we need to build up our communities, move up the social classes.

My partner & I will be buying a house together and we've been trying to learn about how we should be spliting our finances. Thanks for making this video! It was helpful to listen to what your opinion is on this topic. 
I did struggle a little to keep my attention in the first half of the video (discussion of personal views), since I was looking more for education/advice, which came at around minute 11:25. Maybe this is not my business, but I thought I'd suggest an idea: adding timestamps, to avoid people exiting the video? Thanks again for discussing this topic!

I believe the spirit should be about taking care of one another (at the end of the day).
I think the concept should be for both people to enjoy life together at both expenses. If u know the person’s heart and know they are doing their best by one another then that is the goal. If that person would allow you to be homeless or starve if u were injured or out of work and cannot financially contribute then walk away🙏🏽

Don't date beneath your financial status. If the person in question can't afford your living standard, everything falls apart if the primary earner loses a job or gets sick. Two is one, and one is none. Guys, start dating women who earn strong salaries. Ladies are certainly quick to dismiss men based on income. In modern times, men should be doing the same.

Love that we found your channel! This topic in our community is so crucial as 50/50 split can really lead to resentment and a legacy of trauma. 😮‍💨We just did a video about this topic on our channel too. We'd love to connect one day 💞

I don't understand why some men (fortunately not all of them ) want to be 50 50 with their wives??? As i know a man that truly loves his woman will feel happy to provide for her

[annelaabs]

Just discovered you channel. Love it! Very professional and good quality content

[madefresh]

just find someone who matches your lifestyle

[daustin]

As long as the other person puts in their 50%, it isn’t the business of the other what you make.

This kind of relationships makes me feel like i'm with a roomate not with a husband
The man is the provider financially
The woman makes a house home, give him kids, breastfeed them, clean the house cook
But this kind of 50 50 mindset will not work for long term because the woman is as provider as the man and with time she'll lose respect towards him(facts)
The woman shouldn't feel that she has to work, she shouldn't have that financial burden (if it's like this then she doesn't need a man in her life)
A woman needs a provider protector, a man she can count on that makes her stay in her feminine energy and makes her relaxed to give him her best in everything and for the kids also

This is 2023. It's only fair that both are entitled to make their own money, and save some of it for rainy days. During a divorce, she should have her and he should have his stuff.

[violatebah]

Who’s washing the dishes, cooking, doing laundry and cleaning the bathroom? You guys need to factor that.

[donharris]

Pool all the income together, then pay bills, pay down debt, then save some and husband/wife can split what’s left. That is more than fair because he likely brings in more money and does outside chores, while she does inside chores.

[jasminearceo]

Did 50/50 in my last 2 relationships and it doesn’t work… unbalanced and both feel like they do more than the other

[pimpnamedslickback]

Most people tend to marry within their income bracket tho. In the US the average gap between a married couple is about 10k. So say it’s closer to 60/40. Either way the 50/50 principal still makes sense and pivots as the gap in income increases. Whoever makes more should pay more of the combined bills, whoever makes less should probably help out more at home. It’s about working as a team. This idea of the husband making far more than the woman is a 1960s concept and that era is over

[franklinmcclain]

How's it your partner's fault that you make more than them ?

[JayLawson]

The 50/50 split is usually unstable but can be stable:

Best Case Scenario - 1: Both partners make great money. I purposely didn't give an amount because that is subjective. Couple can afford bills and vacations/fun. Issues will arise if one person erroneously spends frivolously, gets into debt etc.

Worst Case Scenario - 2: One partner makes significantly more (ie 50K/150K) The lesser earning partner most likely will resent the other. Huge problem arise when planning trips, fun etc bc lesser earner will have their finances stressed to keep up with the 50/50 agreement. Lesser couple can likely feel financially abused.

Decent Scenario- 3: Both partners make lesser or average income, but equal income. Works well but the stress of paying bills could test or strengthen the bond. This scenario works well if Both partners drastically increase their income over time and bond through the struggle. They will feel endowed to each other later.

Bad Scenario -4: One partner makes more than the other but not significantly more (ie 50K/65K) There could be slight resentment from lesser earner. Greater earner can splurge more causing jealously. Or can splurge on the lesser earner randomly causing the lesser earner to feel out of control of enjoyment/experience events.

IMO if shacking up, only do 50/50 in Scenario 1 or 3. In Scenario 2 use a spread split ie 80/20. In Scenario 4 combine income and do 50/50 split. In marriage, combine all income and do 50/50.

No need to share your income despite being in a relationship. Just discuss things without sharing each other’s income. That is something that should be confidential
