And Budget check ins are a great idea. I also don’t agree that previous debt has to be shared by a couple. I do get that you may have to take that into account when setting up finances, to allow for that debt pay-off but that’s it. We’ve never made the same money so 50/50 was never a thing for us for bills and household expenses. I do like the idea of having a joint credit card for the joint bills to get points. It would also be helpful for joint dinners, outings etc. Right now any joint bills are paid out of our joint checking debit card, so no points. We just sort of take turn paying for dinners, outings, etc. as they come up and if it’s travel transfer the money to each other’s accounts and that’s usually split 50/50.
