Depend how much you or are hubby is earning, i will say if hubby is earning more, of course he pay for most of it (the necessaries one, as i will spend on the kids without going through too much with him like what the toys, books to get. And groceries and baby essential items like diapers, fm (if needed) etc. ) it'll be like 70% him, 30% me. Guys don't really know how to save, hence girls have to safe for emergency and kids futures use for enrichment or anything else needed.

Money issues are the biggest source of conflict in relationships. We have decide to create a joint account to combine both incomes. Contributed percentage is based on salary /ability.I no force my wife to contribute more as I understand she also need take care of my mother in law& father in law. We understand each other and it is best way to pay the household bills.

We have a joint account and contribute a predetermined amount to it on a monthly basis. Household bills are deducted from the account via giro. So long as we continue to contribute to the joint account, we do not bother with what each other is spending on. That means I get to indulge in toys for my boy without nagging from hubby. :)

Both hubby and me are working. Hubby will pass me 2/3 of his pay every month and that includes grocery, milk powder, diaper, bills & kid's sch fees. Almost Bao ga Liao except for his own expenditure. We dun really calculate who paid more or lesser. It's all about give and take.

hahha a. .. in this modern society... I am the finance controller... I pay all expenses all card all bills..... and control our spending....and do all the planning... as my hubby give 90% to me.... which he trusted me so much. ..

we only have a joint account and household bills, electricity etc are deducted from this account. each of us has a monthly allowance whereby we can spend on anything we want

I don't see the need of being so calculative about bills but if you really want to divide then pay the bills for alternate months (e.g. you pay even months, he pay odd months)
