<prompt> Human: Had a quick look through the wiki, etc and couldnt find anything specific.The GF and I will be moving in together shortly and Im aiming to move things along by bending the knee fairly soon.Weve both had bad experiences with exs and shared finance in the past and are looking for some advice.How do you and your SO manage shared finances?Thanks in advance!  <response>: Dont combine. My GF and I split everything. She has her money I have mine. That way there is no arguing over finances and if one of us buys dinner or the bar tab it feels a little more special. To keep track we use a dry erase board and at end of month we just tally everything up, settle and erase. I work a lot, I make money and if I want to buy the simpsons Lego house on a whim thats my business.
