Who pays the bills?

    We have a joint bank account and handle the bills together.

    We split the cost of bills, but I keep track of them and make sure they get paid.

    While I finish my law degree, he goes to work and pays the bills. When I finish school and get a job, he'll stop working and take care of our future kids. It's honestly the best system for us because I don't want to work while I'm in school but he doesn't want to work while he's a dad.

    My fiance and I are both financially responsible. We each had our own checking and savings accounts prior to getting together and we have kept those since being together. Although we have added each other to our accounts, we still both split our bills down the middle. I get paid weekly and he gets paid bi-weekly, therefore on the weeks he is not getting paid we use the checking account where I am the primary more, as we do not want to dig into our savings. I keep up when bills are due and remind him of what's due but we split everything.

    Right now it is just him while I complete my bachelors degree. When we get married we will be getting a joined bank account and so we won’t have his and her money. It will be our money and so I guess both.

    We both pay our own bills. I do pay his internet bill, while he pays for a Netflix and YouTube subscription that I use.

    I create our budget so whatever is needed he gives me. I pay the small things and build our savings, while he pays majority of the bills.

    He has the money, but I'm the one who makes sure everything is paid. I do pay for a few of the bills myself.

    We split the responsibility of organizing the bills but he pays more at the moment.
