Sharing The Bills In A Relationship

Being in a relationship is a wonderful and rewarding experience, but it isn't always an easy one.
As most people can attest, being in love offers numerous opportunities for heartbreak and practical difficulties. For example, these days you don't have to married to someone to be living with them and sharing all the bills. This can mean that neither member of the couple is sure where they stand when it comes to costs as well as whose turn it is to do the washing up - and that's when problems can arise.
Unfortunately, money and finances are areas that often create conflict between couples, but that doesn't mean that they have to be. The biggest step to solving any problems you and your partner have when it comes to cash is by talking about it. Maybe he doesn't know that she feels as though she always pays for the food. And maybe he's sick of buying all of the cleaning products without it seeming to count for anything. Get it all out in the open and don't let money grievances rankle because that's when they tend to take on more significance than they should.
It's important to remember to take account of how much disposable income both members of the partnership have too. You could be in a situation where one person earns significantly more than the other or one in which one member is earning nothing at all.
In these cases it's fair to work out reasonable expenses for both of you and ensure that both have a comparable amount of money to spend on themselves - even if this works out to be quite a small amount once all of the bills are paid.
One other way to make sure the household money is divided fairly is by working out a percentage of your independent incomings to put in the communal pot and a percentage to keep for yourselves. This way, low earners who have to work very demanding hours are less likely to feel that they are being unfairly penalised by high bills.
The other thing that couple sharing bills need to consider is the joint bank account. Most couples find that when they get their first joint bank account, it's useful for them to use it predominantly for bills or as a savings account for a special occasion or holiday. However, other couples prefer to use their joint account as their main bank account.
Either way can work well in relationships, as long as they not only trust each other but also make sure that they keep their spending habits transparent and fair.
