We DO NOT do 50/50 in relationships 😤 #money #finance #dating

[Redpandakiwi]

I completely agree with this in a long term relationship whoever is earning more pays more it works for the best atleast for me and if situations change financially we will work around that and are happy to switch things up like if someone were to lose their income temporarily, illness etc
I’ve never really got the 50/50 thing to me I think people should play it by ear to what works for their own lives and relationships if both people are happy it’s nobody else’s business imo

I’m young but have been through a lot in relationships and something you realize is it can’t be 50/50 it has to be 100/100 both of you have to give all your effort to the relationship or it won’t work

Also this is a 1 minute version of a 2 min Tik tok so if you want to see the whole explanation go to my tik tok: @viluong 🫶

I usually prefer to go for percentages, like each of us will pay 10% of our salary for the rent, etc etc.
For example if I earn 1k and they earn 100, and the rent is 50.
I'll pay 46 and they'll pay 4, so the rent is 4-5% of each of our salaries.

How do you split with a significant other / roomie / etc??? I’m curious!!

[omarimack]

Interesting, because so many in my community (the Black community) will swear that other races don’t go 50/50 and although you’re not going 50/50, I see that y’all have no problem splitting expenses. Thanks for this insight.

Been with my fiance 9 years living together for 3

We have all our income go into one hub account
From there we pay bills and set aside budget for food, toiletries and cleaning stuff (which i control since i cook)

Then whats left gets split
20% each as personal money - we dont get a say on each others personal money
20% to general savings - for house improvements, minor emergencies and future
20% to slush which we use for fun stuff we do together, holidays and stuff like takout
15% to our wedding budget - a new addition but we usually have something we're specifically saving for and if we dont this goes to general or investing
5% to emergency - a true emergency account which we dont touch unless its a true emergency - like both getting laid off or one getting ill etc this used to be higher but we hit our goal of 6months being saved up here

[codiethememe]

My partner and I plan on having a shared account once we live together for general necessities for us both (including rent and other regular bills) and put a certain percentage based on income, and having shared savings and investing as well as saving for emergencies. And having our personal accounts to spend on what we want personally. We don't live together currently but plan on doing this once we do.

This is completely a 50/ 50 relationship

[princesa]

I feel like this is basically just a version of 50/50?

[DansLikeaRockstar]

There is not a model fits all. Each person should decide their boundaries and find a partner accordingly. 🤓If youre not happy about how finances are managed in the relationship but you never made your boundaries clear, i know it's easier to lash out to your partner but you have to accept it was your fault too

[sebastian-nysp]

If you do not pay equal on the house then what do you do if you divorce?

[inmunepr]

Question is will you do it on the long run if he doesn’t earn more

[Livingyourpurpose-mcyt]

When dating I never did this it’s weird. My
Money is mine and yours is yours. Whole mortgage rent etc isn’t until
Your married. 😅dating I was doing my own thing lol 😂 Why would I give you my money for your bills?! I have my own lol

[Raine-]

Yeah, I had an ex who despite him a king literally twice as much as me, had me split EVERYTHING 50/50 I was broke, living paycheck to paycheck and he had all of this extra money. Then he would be like, “why don’t you have any money???” Lmaoooo

[LoveLife-oocz]

Dang I must be very spoiled back then. My then bf, husband now, paid almost 100% when we were dating like dinners and entertainments. He asked me to marry him after one year of dating. I never moved in with him until marriage. Money is the language of the man's love. Ladies shouldn't ask for anything related to personal, beside what's supposed for in dating. Example) Meals and musical tickets are OK for him to pay for you. I like his protection toward me.

We are married for almost 14 years and I notice he loves me more than when we were dating.

[Nikko]

Men always do more. It will always be that way.

[gitlahochman]

Say that when you are married and haves babies with special needs, say to the doctors, nurses and specialists is all 50/50, so they need to trained your husband, tell the diagnostics and home therapy half to him too, they are going to Laugh in your face! In that situations you realize that you as a women are incharge of the home and kids, and that 50 50 is only a convenient thing for young man that don’t know the real life after kids

[alejandrajaramillo]

50/50 men 😢 no 💍 no commitment to choose to spend the rest of his life with you because he loves you </3

[kiraal]

Dont let him use you and get advantage of your money !! Please
