<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is the right spot for this, so I apologize if its not.Little bit of background:I come from a lower middle class family, and have supported myself since I was 18, but unfortunately didnt quite learn how to budget appropriately until recently, so my credit score is fair, not quite 700. After changing careers a few times, Im heading into my masters and wont be working very much; just enough to contribute to basic bills like rent and food.My fiance comes from an upper-middle class family of doctors and is heading into residency himself. His parents have helped him financially so he wouldnt be drowning in loans later...so his credit score is well over 750. This will be his first full-time job, and the projected income for a resident is 60-70k. We live in Brooklyn--our rent isnt terrible because we share a bedroom in a 2-bedroom apartment, and we arent sure if we want a place of our own yet since Im going back to school. Im just not sure how to approach our finances. Hes much better at budgeting and stuff than I am, but I also feel a sense of pride because Ive been on my own for so long. Ive heard some people share a specific percentage of income, and keep a small portion to do with whatever they want. Im just curious, beyond the typical joint accounts, what some other married couples do. Sorry for the rant.TL;DR About to get married and looking for finance-sharing options beyond the typical joint account. Im going back to school, and fiance is starting residency.  <response>: I think the best bet is just to merge your finances and work as a team.Go through the wiki on the sidebar: PRIME DIRECTIVE: How to handle together, and follow the steps and the flow chart.If you do, you will be managing money better than 90 of Americans.Here is a link, in case you are on mobile:Good luck.
