<prompt> Human: Do you just have a joint account that you get paid into and pay all expenses from? How about joint expenses within the family, do you allocate the electricity to you SO and handle the internet bill?Curious how everyone has this set up.  <response>: We have personal chequing accounts that our paycheques go into, as well as joint chequing and joint savings. We also have some individual investments through work.All of our shared regular bills mortgage, utilities, car payments, property taxes, car insurance come out of our joint chequing. We contribute to that based on our percentage share of household income. So I pay 60, he pays 40. Then we keep a maximum amount in our personal accounts, and everything over that level A pays off the balance on our individual credit cards, if there is one; and then B goes into joint savings. Love this system and wouldnt do partnered finances any other way, personally.
