For the sake of this we only used our day job incomes. Figure out who makes what percentage of total income I make 60 she makes 40 then each week were responsible for covering 14 of the monthly total to that ratio. So, I put 600 and she puts 400 every week towards the above expenses. Whatever other money is kept by each of us for gas, eating out, frivolous spending, etc. We are not getting ahead.
