<prompt> Human: My girlfriend is a soon-to-be doctor, so shell shortly be balling out of control. I am a soon-to-be teacher, so I will be balling in control. Were about to move across the country together for the start of her residency.How should we deal with our disparity in incomes? Each split 5050? Split as a ratio of wages? Split so we both have similar disposable income? Not split at all? How have you and your partner dealt with this?  <response>: My husband and I make very different incomes as well. Im an insurance agent, and hes self employed and owns his own food truck and usually works March-October and is closed in the winter and is a stay at home dad the rest of the year. What mine is his and whats his is mine. Whatever money he makes goes straight into our joint account and I pay the bills as they come due. His income doesnt bother me in the slightest because he works very hard in the summer, and honestly loves and enjoys his job which is a lot more important than money. Plus, having him as a stay at home dad for part of the year is a HUGE help for me when Im working 50 hours a week and come home exhausted.
