Starting full time work and bill split

[Toughtips]

So DH has always topped up my pt wage as he's always earned more.

I'll be working FT soon and earning 18k. DH earns 46k

Aibu to request he still gives me the same amount for the bills I pay or would you say it should be split differently now?

I would think he should pay more than you.

Or pool all funds together?

Why don't you just put your money together and each take out something for spending?

You are married, so in the law’s eyes you are a single financial unit. “All that I have I share with you” is one of your vows. IMHO all money into a central pot for everything is what marriage is all about: if you want to have separate spending money accounts (we do) then you should get equal amounts for that.

Joint account for all bills and family expenses, contribute depending wage (same percentage) , joint savings and have a spends account each where you both get the same amount of free spending money each month, not to be questioned.

You don't have to have joint accounts. DH and I don't. It works out that we each pay stuff and end up with equal spending at the end of it, despite DH earning more than 3x what I do.
