<prompt> Human: Hi pf,I know there is no exact steps to follow here, since every situation is different. I am just looking for some stories about how you went about handling finances after marriage, and how it worked out for you and your significant other.The situations Im looking to hear about should sound something like one of the following:1 Spouse A has no debt and a net worth around 500k or more, while spouse B has a negative net worth due to student loans.2 Spouse A has a secure well paying job, and spouse B is currently looking for work after graduation.3 Spouse A has inherited a very large sum of money pre-marriage, and spouse B has very little assets to their name.4 This is a first marriage for both people, and they are relatively youngSome questions that come to mind are:1 Does spouse A treat spouse Bs high interest debt as their own, and pay it off immediately?2 How do they go about buying a home?3 How do they to about splitting bills?4 How do they each decide how much to spend in their fun budget.5 How do they go about dividing bills6 What steps did they take to eliminate issues caused by their different financial positions.7 How important is a prenup for spouse A?I know the situation I am asking about seems specific, and uncommon. Any insight or situation that you have that could answer some of my questions would be great. Or anything that you think is relevant to my question is very appreciated.Thanks in advance!Also sorry about formatting because mobile.  <response>: Situations are different for different people. The only Good Plan is the plan that works for both people, and both people are happy with. And that might not necessarily be the plan that makes the most mathematical sense. In my, personal point of view, if youre getting married, youre making the decision that youre operating as a team. Its not mine and yours, its ours. That applies to assets, debt, future income, labor, chores, etc., etc. If youre involved with someone with debt, and you dont want to have to deal with that debt, dont marry them. If you have a huge net worth, and you want to keep it all to yourself, dont get married.
