<prompt> Human: My girlfriend and I have recently had a an offer accepted on a house yayyy and were discussing which account bills, insurance, mortgage, etc should come out with. Since I earn approximately twice as much as she does, since she is only just out of uni, we decided to split the expenses accordingly 2 thirds and 1 third My question is, what is the best way to this? put money into a joint account and have the bills come out of that, keep any extras for a rainy day? Or pick up a few bills each and pay them direct from our personal accounts?Assistant: Whose name is the house in?My gf and I chose a house together, but the house and mortgage are in my name. All the utility bills are in my name, and she pays me rent every month that equates to about half of the sum of the mortgage inc prop tax and utility bills. Works great for us, as itd be much cleaner if we broke up and she doesnt care about building equity. YMMV IANALHuman: Its in both our names, as she didnt want to feel like she is just paying money for nothing as if she was renting  <response>: ok, well, since I was talking about personal experience, and you situation doesnt match mine, I dont really have anything beneficial to add, except, looking at your username, did you hear that scientists have found a rare mutation in some goats? Its called the Billy gene and causes them to believe THE KID IS NOT MY SON
